Expérience

  1. Adjunct Faculty and Researcher

    College of Engineering, University of Guelph

    août 2024 to Aujourd’hui

    Guelph, Ontario, Canada

    • Design and evaluate mixed-signal VLSI circuits in 28nm TSMC using Cadence Virtuoso for hardware-security, PUF, and IoT applications, applying CMOS design principles and structured simulation/evaluation workflows. • Develop and assess fast analog-comparator, low-power DAC, and PUF-based hardware solutions; analyze performance and reliability results, troubleshoot design issues, and document methods and findings for reproducible engineering evaluation. • Build semiconductor and embedded-hardware test methodologies using Python/C++-supported analysis, including SRAM-PUF enrollment, reliability, Hamming-distance, BER, and authentication evaluation across multiple devices and repeated readouts. • Collaborate on mixed-signal, embedded, and secure-IoT research, integrating circuit-level work with microcontrollers, firmware-facing experiments, and hardware/software data flows.

  2. Visiting Researcher

    College of Engineering, University of Guelph

    juill. 2020 to août 2024

    Guelph, Ontario, Canada

    • Advanced a 4-year semiconductor research program in mixed-signal VLSI and physically unclonable functions, investigating CMOS hardware architectures and evaluation methods for secure electronic systems. • Conducted circuit and system-level experimentation, data analysis, debugging, and technical reporting that supported subsequent SRAM-PUF, secure-IoT, and low-power circuit research.

  3. Lecturer

    Middle Technical University

    nov. 2019 to mai 2024

    Concurrent academic appointment • Delivered undergraduate engineering subjects including Digital Logic Design, Electronic Circuits, Computer Programming, Data Analysis, and PLCs, strengthening practical foundations in digital hardware, programming, and systematic debugging. • Developed laboratory exercises and technical materials using MATLAB/Simulink, Multisim, Proteus, Fritzing, and programming tools; emphasized design reasoning, verification through testing, and clear documentation.

  4. Teaching Assistant

    School of Engineering, University of Guelph

    mai 2014 to août 2019

    Guelph, Ontario, Canada

    • Supported hands-on laboratories and tutorials in VLSI Digital Design, Analog Integrated Circuits, Embedded System Design, and Microcomputer Interfacing, reinforcing digital logic, circuit behavior, hardware debugging, and engineering problem solving. • Guided students using Linux, Cadence Virtuoso, SKILL/OCEAN, Python, C++, and Assembly, troubleshooting circuit, software, and hardware-integration issues in laboratory environments.

  5. Sales Engineering Manager

    H.M.J. Al-Bunnia Group

    janv. 2004 to janv. 2013

    • Managed technical proposals, engineering coordination, customer/vendor requirements, and industrial automation/control-system solutions across cement, oil refining, natural gas, and phosphate sectors.
