Fayed, Ayman

Biography

Ayman Fayed received his B.Sc. degree in Electronics & Communications Engineering from Cairo University in 1998, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in 2000 and 2004, respectively. From 2000 to 2009, he held several technical positions in the area of analog, mixed-signal and power management integrated circuit design at Texas Instruments Inc., where he contributed to many product lines for wire-line, wireless, and multi-media devices. From 2000 to 2005, he was with the Connectivity Solutions Dept. at TI, where he worked on the development of analog frontends for high-speed wire-line transceivers such as USB, IEEE1394b, and HDMI, and on fully integrated switching/linear regulators and battery chargers for portable media players. From 2005 to 2009, he was a member of the technical staff with the wireless analog technology center at TI, where he worked on delta-sigma data converters for various wireless standards, and on the development of fully-integrated power management solutions for mixed-signal SoCs with multi-RF cores in nanometer CMOS. Dr. Fayed joined the Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Iowa State University in 2009, where he held the Northrop Grumman Assistant Professorship. He then joined the Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering at The Ohio State University in 2015, where he is currently a professor. He is the founder and director of the Power Management Research Lab (PMRL) and his current research interests include on-chip power supplies for dynamic energy distribution in VLSI systems, high-frequency switching regulators with on-chip and on-package passives for SoCs, low-noise power supplies and power supply modulators for analog and RF circuits, energy-harvesting circuits for power-restricted & remotely-deployed devices/systems, and analog/mixed-signal and power converter design in SiC and GaN technologies. He is currently the chair of the Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE CAS society, and a member of the Technical Program Committee of ISCAS, APEC, and the steering committee of MWSCAS. He has served previously as an associate editor for IEEE TCAS-I and TCAS-II and in the Technical Program Committee of RFIC. Dr. Fayed is the author/co-author of many publications in the field and holds 8 US patents. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award in 2013, the 2015 Darlington Best Transactions Paper Award from the IEEE Circuits and System Society, and the 2021 IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics Second Place Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Power Electronics Society. He has also received the Best Associate Editor Award from IEEE TCAS-I in 2020, 2021 and 2022, and the 2022 IEEE CAS Society Outstanding Technical Committee Award. Dr. Fayed is a senior member of IEEE.
