== Early life and education ==
Bashir was born in Baghdad, Iraq and he came to the UK in 1978 to study and went to the University of Bath where he obtained an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering. He got a MSc in electronics engineering from the University of Cardiff in 1986 and his PhD degree (1989) was received from the University of York. He worked in the electronics industry following his PhD in 1989 and joined the Department of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at University of Southampton in 1999.<ref>{{cite web|title= University of Southampton Bashir M.

==Research and academic career==
==Research and academic career==
Bashir focuses on low power design and test of integrated electronic circuits and systems. His research focuses on understanding the interaction between hardware and software in constrained computing systems such as in mobile and embedded applications and how such interactions can be used through theory and experiment to achieve systems energy optimisation and enhanced hardware dependability. He has made theoretical and experimental contributions to the field of hardware-software co-design,<ref>{{cite book |last1=Schmitz |first1=Marcus |last2=Al-Hashimi |first2=Bashir |last3=Eles |first3=Petru |title=System-Level Design Techniques for Energy-Efficient Embedded Systems |date=2004 |publisher=Kluwer Academic Publishers |location=Norwell, MA, USA |isbn=978-1402077500}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Andrei |first1=A. |last2=Schmitz |first2=M. |last3=Eles |first3=P. |last4=Peng |first4=Z. |last5=Al-Hashimi |first5=B.M. |title=Overhead-conscious voltage selection for dynamic and leakage energy reduction of time-constrained systems |journal=IEE Proceedings - Computers and Digital Techniques |date=14 Jan 2005 |volume=152 |issue=1 |pages=28–38 |doi=10.1049/ip-cdt:20045055 |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1404555 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215174727/https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1404555 |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 December 2018 |accessdate=11 December 2018}}</ref> low power semiconductor chips test<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Rosinger |first1=P. |last2=Al-Hashimi |first2=B.M. |last3=Nicolici |first3=N. |title=Scan architecture with mutually exclusive scan segment activation for shift- and capture-power reduction |journal=IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems |date=7 July 2004 |volume=23 |issue=7 |pages=1142–1153 |doi=10.1109/TCAD.2004.829797 |s2cid=17753269 |url=https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/258752/1/TCAD2004.pdf }}</ref> and test-data compression of digital integrated circuits<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gonciari |first1=P.T. |last2=Al-Hashimi |first2=B.M. |last3=Nicolici |first3=N. |title=Variable-length input Huffman coding for system-on-a-chip test |journal=IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems |date=June 2003 |volume=22 |issue=6 |pages=783–796 |doi=10.1109/TCAD.2003.811451 |citeseerx=10.1.1.107.2601 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Gonciari |first1=P.T. |last2=Al-Hashimi |first2=B.M. |last3=Nicolici |first3=N. |title=Proceedings 2002 Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference and Exhibition |chapter=Improving compression ratio, area overhead, and test application time for system-on-a-chip test data compression/Decompression |pages=604–611 |date=March 2002 |doi=10.1109/DATE.2002.998363 |isbn=978-0-7695-1471-0 |s2cid=195857239 }}</ref> and energy-harvesting computing.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Weddell |first1=Alex S. |last2=Merrett |first2=Geoff V. |last3=Kazmierski |first3=Tom J. |last4=Al-Hashimi |first4=Bashir M. |title=Accurate Supercapacitor Modeling for Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Nodes |journal=IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs |date=1 December 2011 |volume=58 |issue=12 |pages=911–915 |doi=10.1109/TCSII.2011.2172712 |s2cid=14097862 |url=https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/272829/1/Supercap%2520Journal.pdf }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Balsamo |first1=Domenico |last2=Weddell |first2=Alex S. |last3=Merrett |first3=Geoff V. |last4=Al-Hashimi |first4=Bashir M. |last5=Brunelli |first5=Davide |last6=Benini |first6=Luca |title=Hibernus: Sustaining Computation During Intermittent Supply for Energy-Harvesting Systems |journal=IEEE Embedded Systems Letters |date=March 2015 |volume=7 |issue=1 |pages=15–18 |doi=10.1109/LES.2014.2371494 |s2cid=8513908 |url=https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/371787/1/hibernus.pdf }}</ref>

Bashir Mohammed Ali Al-Hashimi (born 5 January 1961)[2] is a computer engineering researcher, academic and higher education leader. He is Vice President (Research & Innovation) and ARM Professor of Computer Engineering at King's College London in the United Kingdom.[3][4] He was the co-founder and co-director of the ARM-ECS Research Centre,[5] an industry-university collaboration partnership involving the University of Southampton and ARM.[6] He is the chair of the Engineers 2030 working group, a national campaign overseen by the National Engineering Policy Centre and led by the UK Royal Academy of Engineering. The campaign centres around accelerating change and the future workforce of engineering.[7]

Research and academic career

[edit]

Bashir has made theoretical and experimental contributions to the field of hardware-software co-design,[8][9] low power semiconductor chips test[10] and test-data compression of digital integrated circuits[11][12] and energy-harvesting computing.[13][14]

In 2009, he established the Pervasive Systems Centre.[15] He has published 6 books (including Many-Core Computing: Hardware and Software, IET (2019)[16] and nearly 400 referred technical papers.[17][18]

He was the project director for PRiME,[19] an EPSRC funded five-year programme (2013–2018) researching in the areas of low power, highly-parallel, reconfigurable and dependable computing and verified software design.[20]

He was also the project director for the EPSRC funded Holistic battery-free electronics project,[21] aiming to develop ultra-energy-efficient electronic systems for emerging applications including mobile digital health and autonomous wireless monitoring in environmental and industrial settings. The project has played an important role in shaping and influencing the academic research agenda worldwide in powering Internet of Things devices in a sustainable way.[22]

In 2014, he was appointed Executive Dean of the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering at Southampton and in 2018, as Executive Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences,[23] where he remains a Visiting Professor at the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS).[24] In 2020, he joined King's College London to lead the Faculty of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, leading the change to Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences at King's.[25]
