ESR 08 - Mohamed Mounir Mahmoud
Short biography
Mohamed Mounir received his M.Eng Degree in Industrial Electronics and Control from the University of Malaya, Malaysia, in 2013, his M.S.Sc. Degree in Strategy and Diplomacy from the National University of Malaysia, Malaysia, in 2014 and his B.Sc. degree in Electronics and Electrical Communications from Cairo University, Egypt, in 2009. In addition, he finished his Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International exams from the University of Cambridge, UK, in 2004. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at KU Leuven, Belgium, as a Research Associate. In the same department, he pursued his PhD degree on the topic of 'Radiation hardened aging resilient digital integrated circuits in nanoscale CMOS technology'. He is an IEEE Member since 2009, and he's issued several research publications on IC reliability since then.
What is your main task and role in RADSAGA?
In RADSAGA project, Mohamed is investigating the 'Impact of aging degradation mechanisms on the radiation susceptibility of complex integrated circuits'. Accordingly, this will be achieved through conducting accelerated radiation test campaigns for complex components (microprocessors, FPGAs, memories), and developing dynamic models for the component robustness to radiation effects while considering the intrinsic performance degradation due to the diverse aging mechanisms.
What are your future goals? How will RADSAGA help you fulfill them?
Work as a researcher within academia or industry in the field of designing microelectronic systems for critical applications. RADSAGA will competently build my practical experience in the field of radiation physics and microelectronics design for critical applications, while providing an opportunity to directly work with the experts of the field. RADSAGA is an outstanding opportunity to make professional global contacts and valorize my research activities. This will assist me to integrate in the community of radiation effects on microelectronics, and it is a perfect step for pursuing my career in this field.
