(1997) in Computer Engineering from the University of California, San Diego, and a Diploma of Engineering (1995) in Computer Engineering and Informatics from the University of Patras, Greece. His main research interests lie in the application of machine learning and statistical analysis towards developing reliable and trusted integrated circuits, with particular emphasis in the analog/RF domain. He is also investigating error detection and correction methods for modern microprocessors, as well as novel computational modalities using emerging technologies. His research activities have been supported by NSF, SRC, DARPA, Boeing, IBM, LSI, Intel, and TI. He is the program chair of the 2013 VLSI Test Symposium and has served as a guest editor for the IEEE Transactions on Computers and as a committee member for several IEEE and ACM conferences. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a recipient of the 2006 Sheffield Distinguished Teaching Award.

Ozgur Sinanoglu is a Faculty of Engineering at New York University in Abu Dhabi. Prof. Ozgur Sinanoglu obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from University of California, San Diego, in 2004. During his PhD, he was given the IBM PhD Fellowship Award in two consecutive years in 2001 and 2002, and his PhD thesis won the CSE PhD Dissertation Award in UCSD in 2005. He worked for two years at Qualcomm in San Diego as a senior Design-for-Testability engineer, primarily responsible for developing cost-effective test solutions for low-power SOCs. After a 4-year academic experience at Kuwait University, where he was given two research awards, he has joined in Fall 2010 New York University in Abu Dhabi. Upon spending his integration year as a visiting Faculty in New York at the ECE Department of NYU Poly, he joined the Faculty in Abu Dhabi in Fall 2011. His primary field of research is the reliability and trust of integrated circuits, mostly focusing on design-for-testability. He has around 100 conference and journal papers in addition to 3 issued and several pending patents. He is the recipient of the Best Paper Award of VLSI Test Symposium 2011.
