Muhammad Shafique received his Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, in 2011. Afterwards, he established and led a highly recognized research group at KIT for several years as well as conducted impactful R&D activities across the globe. Before KIT, he was with Streaming Networks Pvt. Ltd. where he was involved in research and development of video coding systems several years. In Oct.2016, he joined the Institute of Computer Engineering at the Faculty of Informatics, Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien), Vienna, Austria as a Full Professor of Computer Architecture and Robust, Energy-Efficient Technologies. Since Sep.2020, he is with the Division of Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYU-AD) in UAE, and is a Global Network faculty at the NYU's Tandon School of Engineering (NYU-NY) in USA. He is the director of the eBrain research lab, and is also a Co-PI/Investigator in multiple large-scale research centers at NYUAD, including the Center of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), Center for Quantum and Topological Systems, Center of Cyber Security (CCS), and Center for InTeractIng urban nEtworkS (CITIES). Dr. Shafique has demonstrated success in leading team-projects, meeting deadlines for demonstrations, motivating team membersto peak performance levels, and completion of independent challenging tasks. His experience is corroborated by strong technical knowledge and an educational record (throughout Gold Medalist). He also possesses an in-depth understanding of various video coding standards. His research interests are in brain-inspired computing, AI & machine learning hardware and system-level design, autonomous systems, wearable healthcare, energy-efficient systems, robust computing, hardware security, emerging technologies, FPGAs, MPSoCs, and embedded systems. His research has a special focus on cross-layer analysis, modeling, design, and optimization of computing and memory systems. The researched technologies and tools are deployed in application use cases from Internet-of-Things (IoT), smart Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and ICT for Development (ICT4D) domains. Dr. Shafique has given several Keynotes, Invited Talks, and Tutorials at premier venues. He has also organized many special sessions atflagship conferences (like DAC, ICCAD, DATE, IOLTS, and ESWeek), and has served as the Guest Editor for IEEE Design and Test Magazine (D&T), IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing (T-SUSC), IEEE Transactions on Embedded Computing (TECS), and Elsevier MICPRO.
