Sleiman Bou-Sleiman Awarded SBC Presidential
Fellowship
Sleiman Bou-Sleiman
Sleiman Bou-Sleiman, a fourth-year PhD student in
electrical and computer engineering, was awarded a 2011
SBC Presidential Fellowship, the most competitive and
prestigious scholarly recognition provided by The Ohio
State University Graduate School.
The SBC Presidential Fellowship recognizes outstanding
scholarship and research ability and provides recipients
with the opportunity to devote themselves to their
dissertation research full time.
Bou-Sleiman, who is advised by
Prof. Mohammed Ismail,
conducts research in the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering’s
Analog VLSI Lab. His
research aims to develop solutions to the problems that
are limiting next generation wireless chip sets or
systems-on-chip (SoC), for 4G and beyond, from taking
full advantage of the rapid advances in nanoelectronics
technology. Although wireless systems have become more
powerful, they are also much less dependable as their
performance is neither always optimal nor well
controlled. This is particularly true for the radio
frequency (RF) and mixed signal (analog/digital) part of
the chip set which represents a major bottleneck for
circuit designers when attempting successful system
integration.
ÐAt the Analog VLSI Lab,
Bou-Sleiman and other researchers are looking for ways
to leverage the benefits of newer nano-scale
technologies towards achieving robust RF and mixed
signal performance in the presence of random process
variations and/or changes in environmental conditions.
They propose smart, "self-healing" RF and analog design
techniques that are self-aware and deploy
built-in-self-test together with digital
self-calibration.
Bou-Sleiman’s work has resulted in a US patent
disclosure and a number of IEEE journal and conference
papers.
