Bashir Al-Hashimi

Bashir Mohammed Ali Al-Hashimi,[1] CBE, FREng, FIEEE, FIET, FBCS (born 5 January 1961) is the Executive Dean of the Faculty of Natural and Mathematical Sciences,[2] and ARM professor of Computer Engineering at King's College London in the United Kingdom. He is an international Distinguished Professor at the National University of Malaysia (UKM) and he is also a Visiting Professor at the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton,[3][4] where he is the co-director of the ARM-ECS Research Centre, which is an industry-university collaborative centre involving the University of Southampton and ARM.[5] He served as a panel member on the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014[6] and is also a member of the REF 2021 Engineering Panel.[7] His research focuses on understanding the interaction between hardware and software in constrained computing systems and how such interactions can be used through theory and experiment to achieve systems energy efficiency and enhanced hardware dependability. He has made fundamental contributions to the field of hardware-software co-design,[8][9] low-power test[10] and test-data compression of digital integrated circuits,[11][12] and the emerging field of energy-harvesting computing.[13][14]

Major projects

Al-Hashimi was lead director on PRiME, a £5.6 million EPSRC funded five-year programme (2013–2018) researching in the areas of low-power, highly-parallel, reconfigurable and dependable computing and verified software design.[15]

He is also the project director and principal investigator for a £1.6 million project aiming to develop ultra-energy-efficient electronic systems for emerging applications including mobile digital health, and autonomous wireless monitoring in environmental and industrial settings.[16] This project addressed one of the UK Electronics Design community Grand Challenges, “Batteries Not Included”. The funding of this project has played an important role in shaping and influencing the academic research agenda world-wide in powering Internet of Things devices in a sustainable way.[17]

He is currently a member of the EPSRC-funded international centre-to-centre research consortia in Spatial Computational Learning.

Awards

Al-Hashimi was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2018 Queen's Birthday Honours for services to computer engineering and to industry.[1]

In 2020, he was awarded the Faraday Medal by the IET for seminal theoretical and experimental contributions to manufacturing test of system-on-chip, pioneering new test data and low power compression methods and algorithms for energy-efficient computing. See here.

In 2014, he received the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award for his work on Energy-efficient and reliable many-core computing systems.[18]

In 2012, he was awarded the Outstanding Service Award by the IEEE Council for Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) for serving as the General Chair of DATE 2012.[19]


Editorships

Editor-in-Chief of IET Computers & Digital Techniques.[20]

Fellowships

Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, 2013.[21]

Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009.[22]

In 2012, the European Electronic Design Automation Association awarded him a DATE Fellowship for leadership and outstanding contributions to electronic design, automation and test.[23]

Personal life

He is married to May and they have three daughters: Sara, Haneen and Zahara.
