Fathi Amsaad joined the CSE department at Wright State University as an Assistant Professor in the Fall of 2022. He established the Semiconductor Microelectronics Assurance, Resilience, and Trust (SMART) Cybersecurity Research Lab at 490 Joshi Research Center, Computer Science and Engineering Department, Wright State University. At the SMART Cybersecurity Research Lab, Dr. Amsaad leads a research team of several graduate students (Master’s and Ph.D.) and a postdoctoral researcher. His research interests include Assured and Trusted Digital Microelecnoces, Secure Heterogeneous Integration and Advanced Packaging, Blockchain-enabled Federated Learning, IoT Hardware Security, Machine/Deep Learning for Cybersecurity, AI Distributed Cloud Computing, Secure AI Hardware Accelerators, and Resilient Circuit Design (Memory/Microprocessor/ASICs/FPGAs). Before joining Wright State University, he was an Assistant Professor and Graduate Program Coordinator in the School of Information Security and Applied Computing at Eastern Michigan University (08/2019-07/2022). He also served as an assistant professor at the Univesity of Southern Mississippi (08/2018 – 07/2019) and as a visiting instructor at the Univesity of South Florida (08/2016-05/2017). Prior to that, he worked as an Adjunct Instructor at Bowling Green State University and as a Graduate Teaching and Research Assistant (GTA/GRA) at the University of Toledo, Ohio (2012-2016). Before coming to the US, Dr. Amsaad worked as a Teaching Assistant and the Undergraduate Senior Project Lab manager at the (University of Benghazi) the oldest and top-ranked University in Libya.
He is the author/co-author of more than articles published in major IEEE conferences, journals, and Magazines in his research area, including IEEE International Workshop on Hardware-Oriented Security and Trust (HOST), IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT), IEEE Transactions on VLSI, IEEE Open Access, and IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine. He was the Technical Program Committee Member for several IEEE conferences, including the IEEE International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MSCS) and the IEEE International Symposium on Smart Electronic Systems (IEEE-iSES, formerly IEEE-iNIS). He is the Hardware/Software Vehicular Internment System (VIS) track chair in the 2021 IEEE-iSES. He is a reviewer and server on the review board for several journals and conferences, such as IEEE MSCS, IEEE ISCAS, Internet of Things Journal, IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design, and MDPI Electronics Journal. He serves as Guest Editor in two MDPI-electronic Special Issues, including “Special Issues: Hardware Intrinsic Security for Trusted Electronic Systems.” He has been an active IEEE member since 2011.
