of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, National University of Ireland, University College Dublin. He is currently with the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Sharjah, Emirates, where he is a full Professor. His research interests are primarily in the areas of Circuit Theory and Design, Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos Theory, as well as Fractional-Order Circuits and Systems with diverse applications ranging from the modeling of oscillatory networks and nonlinear electronic circuits to modeling and characterization of energy storage devices and bio-materials. He is the author and co-author of more than 250 publications in these areas He is an Associate Editor for the Int. J. of Circuit Theory and Applications (IJCTA), published by Wiley, and the Int. J. Bifurcation & Chaos, (IJBC-World Scientific) Prof. Elwakil is an Associate Member of the Centre for Chaos Control and Synchronization at the City University of Hong Kong and has served as an instructor for a number of courses organized by the United Nations University (UNU) and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, Trieste, Italy). He is currently an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transaction on Circuits and Systems: Regular papers and the Int. J. of Electronics and Communications (AEUE) by Elsevier.



He was a keynote speaker at the sixth International Workshop on Chaos Fractals and Applications, Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, August 2013, a keynote speaker at the Int. Conf. on Fractional Differentiation and Its Applications (ICFDA), Catania, Italy, June 2014 and a keynote speaker at the 39 th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP), Vienna, Austria, June 2016 where he lectured on the theory of Fractional-order circuits and systems: An emerging interdisciplinary research area. He has been a member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Nonlinear Circuits and Systems (TCNCAS) since 2003. Prof. Elwakil was a lead guest editor for the IEEE J. of Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits & Systems, special issue on fractional-order circuits and systems (Sept. 2013); the first issue to be fully dedicated to this topic by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (TCAS) and was also a guest editor for a special issue on Chaos-Fractals Theories and Applications published in the J. of Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2014. He was a guest editor for a special issue on fractional-order circuits (June 2016) in the J. Circuits Systems & Signal Processing (JCSSP-Springer) and has chaired/organized many special sessions in international conferences.



Prof. Elwakil's paper "Construction of classes of circuit-independent chaotic oscillators using passive only non-linear devices," published in IEEE Trans. on Circuits & Systems in March 2001, was identified by Reuters-Thomson as the fastest moving front in Mathematics in January 2007. His paper "Fractional-order circuits and systems: An emerging interdisciplinary research area," published in the IEEE Circuits & Systems Magazine is also among its top 50 cited papers ranking 7/50. He received the Egyptian Government first class medal for Achievements in Engineering Sciences in 2003, 2009 and 2015 respectively and was a visiting professor at Istanbul Technical University (Istanbul, Turkey), University of Calgary (Alberta, Canada), Queens University (Belfast, UK), Technical University of Denmark (Lyngby, Denmark), Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio), University College Cork (Cork, Ireland), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST, Saudi Arabia) and Nile University (Cairo, Egypt). He is currently an Adjunct Prof. at the Nano-electronics Integrated Systems Center at Nile University, Egypt and an Adjunct Prof. at the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Calgary
