Curriculum Vitae

Mahmoud A. El Nokali was born in Alexandria, Egypt, on December 5, 1949. He received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Alexandria University in 1972, and the M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from McGill University, Montreal, Quebec in 1976 and 1980, respectively. His doctoral research dealt with the modeling and characterization of surface acoustic wave storage correlations.

After a year as an NCR Postdoctoral Fellow at McGill, he joined the faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh. His current research interests center on semiconductor device modeling, with special emphasis on Power electronics devices, short-channel MOSFET, high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), MESFET HBT and BiCMOS modeling.

Dr. El Nokali is a member of Eta Kappa Nu and Sigma Xi. He is the recipient of the 1986 Beitle-Veltri Teaching Award and the 1988 University of Pittsburgh Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award.
