Research Interests
Dr. Ismail has over 25 years experience of R&D in the fields of analog, RF and mixed signal integrated circuits. He has held several positions in both industry and academia and has served as a corporate consultant to nearly 30 companies in the US, Europe and the Far East. He is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Founding Director of the Analog VLSI Lab at Ohio State. His current interest lies in research involving digitally programmable/configurable fully integrated CMOS radios with focus on low voltage/low power first-time-right-silicon solutions for 3G and 4G wireless handhelds. This involves RF design techniques for Nanometer CMOS, platforms for design and applications of cognitive radios, RF and mixed signal Built-In Self Test and digital self calibration techniques and power management solutions.
He publishes intensively in this area and has been awarded 11 patents. He has co-edited and coauthored several books including a text on Analog VLSI Signal and Information Processing, (McGraw Hill).His last book (2007) is entitled Radio design in Nanometer Technologies, Springer. He advised the thesis work of 43 PhD students and of over 85 MS students .He hosted over 20 international visiting scholars.
Dr. Ismail has been the recipient of several awards including the US National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award, the US Semiconductor Research Corp Inventor Recognition Awards in 1992 and 1993, The College of Engineering Lumley Research Awards in 1992, 1997, 2002 and 2007 and a Fulbright/Nokia fellowship Award in 1995. He is the founder of the International Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing, Springer and serves as the Journal's Editor-In-Chief. He has served as Associate Editor for many IEEE Transactions, is on the International Advisory Boards of several journals and was on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.
