"Dr. Hamdy Abd El-Hamid obtained his Bachelor of Engineering degree in electrical engineering in 1994 from the Higher Technological Institute in Egypt. He obtained his master’s degree in 2000 in electronic engineering from Egypt’s Ain Shams University. In 2005 he obtained a Diplôme des Etudes Approfondies and in 2007 a Doctor of Philosophy degree and European Doctorate from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Spain. His doctoral research focused on the development of CAD models for modern SOI MOSFETs from DC to RF conditions. From April to June 2005, Abd El-Hamid was a graduate visiting student at the University of Liverpool’s electrical engineering department in the United Kingdom. He joined the Microelectronics Laboratory at Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium from April to June 2006 and in February 2007, where he worked on the characterization and modeling of thin-film and ultrathin-film SOI FinFETs from ambient temperature to high temperature and from DC to RF conditions. He participated in a number of short courses on silicon on insulator (SOI) technology at universities, industrial companies and conferences. He also gave several European training courses on SOI technology, devices and circuits. From October 2007 to September 2009, Abd El-Hamid worked as a postdoctoral fellow at McMaster University’s department of electronics engineering in Canada (funded by the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation). He worked as an assistant professor at the British University’s department of electrical engineering in Egypt from October 2009 to September 2010. From October 2010 to September 2012, he was an assistant professor at Qassim University’s electrical engineering department in Saudi Arabia. Abd El-Hamid authored and coauthored a number of research papers that were published in international journals and conference proceedings. Abd El-Hamid has recently been made a member of the American Nano Society and the Nanotech-Bank, in light of his scientific contributions in nanoelectronics and nanotechnology."
