== 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 was awarded an MSc in electronics engineering from the University of Cardiff in 1986 and his PhD degree (1989) was received from the University of York with a thesis on the synthesis and integration of analogue filters, supervised by Kel Fidler. 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 2000.


==Research and academic career==
==Research and academic career==
Bashir has expertise in 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 developed and validated new methods, tools and advanced technology demonstrators for use in integrated circuits and embedded systems design and test. He was one of the first to demonstrate through theory and experiment that the yield of low power digital integrated circuits is negatively impacted during manufacturing testing, showing through a sound theoretical framework the interplay between energy efficiency and hardware reliability of embedded systems. He was the project director for PRiME,<ref>{{cite web|title=PRiME |url= http://www.prime-project.org/}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.prime-project.org/about/|title = About PRiME|date = |accessdate = 2015-02-06|website = |last = |first = }}</ref>

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,<ref>{{cite web|title= Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering|url=https://www.feps.soton.ac.uk/}}</ref> where he remains a Visiting Professor at the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS).<ref>{{cite web|title=Homepage of Professor Bashir Al-Hashimi|url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/people/5wynpd/professor-bashir-al-hashimi#biography}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite web|title=Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences|url=https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes}}</ref>
Both projects were undertaken with a consortium of universities and industrial partners to investigate how to reduce energy consumption of electronic and computing systems, discovering the factors and understanding to make battery-free and many-core computing possible. These works are now citied as examples of specific achievements include the development of algorithms for energy-harvesting computing and devising methods for reducing both dynamic and leakage power consumption of embedded systems.

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]

Awards, honours and fellowhips

[edit]

Appointments

[edit]

Bashir was an Elected Trustee of the Royal Academy of Engineering Board for a 3-year term to September 2024[36] and completed in 2023 a term as chair of the Academy's Awards Committee.[37] He is a Board Director of the ERA Foundation[38] and a UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF)[39] Board Trustee and Director.[40]

He was a member of the Research England Expanding Excellence in England (E3) Fund Assessment Panel[41] and he served as a panel member on the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014[42] and the REF 2021 Engineering Panel.[43]

He was a Trustee of King's College London Mathematics School, completing his term in 2023.[44]
