Sherief Reda is a computer scientist and engineer. He is currently a professor at the School of Engineering and Computer Science Department,[1] Brown University, and a principal research scientist at Amazon[2] Supply Chain Optimization Technology team.[3] He has been elevated to a Fellow of the IEEE[4] for his contributions to energy-efficient and approximate computing.

Education & career

[edit]

Reda received his PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from University of California, San Diego in 2006.[5] Prior to that, he received his BSc (Distinction with Honors) and his MSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer and Systems from Ain Shams University in 1998 and 2000 respectively. He has been a faculty at Brown University since 2006 and an IEEE Fellow[6][4][7] since 2022. Reda has served as an organizer and technical committee member for many conferences, including serving as the general co-chair of the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Low-Power Electronics Design [8] in 2021. He served as an associate editor for ElSevier Integration and IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design. Besides his academic work, Reda has served as an expert witness for patent litigation cases, and he has been a Principal Research Scientist at Amazon since 2021[2]

Research

[edit]

Reda is known for his research in energy-efficient computing, electronic design automation, embedded systems, and molecular computing.[9][10] He has broad interests in the use of combinatorial optimization and machine learning for applications in both circuit design and supply chain systems. He has over 130 scientific articles in leading journals and conferences (Google scholar [11]), and he authored and edited two books.[12][13] Reda’s research laboratory, SCALE lab,[14] is a major contributor to open-source EDA and embedded system tools,[15] and he co-founded the WOSET workshop [8] for open-source EDA technology in 2018. He has been a PI or co-PI on more than $21M of funded projects from federal agencies such as National Science Foundation, DARPA and Department of Defense, and many industry corporations, such as Samsung, Qualcomm, Facebook, AMD, and Intel. In 2017, Reda was named one of 11 trailblazers to follow by The Providence Journal.[16] His research was featured in the news including Science Daily[10] and American Association for Advancement of Science.[17][15]
