Prof. Mansour Assaf

Biography
Dr. Assaf joined The University of the South Pacific in 2010. Prior to USP, he was Associate Professor at The University of Trinidad and Tobago. Before that, he served as a Research Scholar and Lecturer at The School of Information Technology and Engineering of the University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from UOO where he also received his M.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and the B.A.Sc. degree in Telecommunications. He holds a B.Sc. degree in Applied Physics from The Lebanese University. His research interests are in the areas of computer architecture, mixed-signal analysis, hardware/software co-design and test, fault-tolerant computing, distributed detection in sensor networks, and RFID technologies. Dr. Assaf is a senior member of the IEEE, a senior member of the ACM, and Vice-chair IEEE sub-section (2016-2022). He received the 2003 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award.
