Short Bio

Uta Pottgiesser is Professor of Interior Architeture at the Department of Architecture, Interior Architecture and Urban Planning (ARIAS) since 2017. From 2004-2016 she has been Chair of Building Construction and Materials at Detmold School of Architecture and Interior Architecture at Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences (HS OWL), Germany.

From 2006-2011 she served as Vice-President for Research, Development and Internationalisation of HS OWL and from 2012-2016 as Dean of the Detmold School of Architecture and Interior Architcture. As Vice-President she was implementing the strategies of research and internationalisation. As Dean she was responsible for the reaccreditation of all 10 programs and for establishing the new interdisciplinary and English speaking programs ”Master of Integrated Architectural Design (MIAD)” and ”Master of Integrated Design (MID)” focussing the facade and computational design. These programs prepare to deal with the needs of the architectural profession related to interdisciplinarity in a globalized world.

After obtaining her Diploma in Architecture at TU Berlin (Germany) in 1991 she worked as an architect with a focus on office and administration buildings. From 1998-2004 she was Research Assistant and Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at TU Dresden (Germany) where she earned her Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing.) on “Multilayered Glass Constructions: Energy and Construction” in 2002. She is a member of the Berlin Chamber of Architects.

This experience gives her a multidisciplinary background in architecture, civil engineering and interior architecture. Her work and research on building construction, interior and facade design has also led her to deal with research in the field of creative problem solving and product innovation to improve human well-being in spatial contexts. She has been teaching and lecturing in many international conferences and universities in Europe, North and South America and Asia and is a co-founder of the European Facade Network (efn), member of Docomomo Germany and International. Since 2016 she is Chair of the Docomomo International Scientific Committee Technology (ISC-T).

Prof. Mohammed Ismail

Mohammed Ismail a prolific author and entrepreneur in the field of chip design / test and nanotechnology, spent over 25 years in academia and industry in the US and Europe He obtained his BS and MS from Cairo University, Egypt and His PhD from the University of Manitoba, Canada , all in electrical engineering.
He is the Founder of the Ohio State University's (OSU) Analog VLSI Lab, one of the foremost research entities in the fields of analog, mixed signal and RF integrated circuits and served as its Director. He held a Research Chair on nano-electronics circuits at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) where he founded the RaMSiS Research Group there. He had visiting appointments in Finland (Aalto university), Norway (NTH and University of Oslo), the Netherlands (Twente University) and Japan (Tokyo Institute of Technology).

He Joined KUSTAR, the UAE in 2011, where he held the ATIC (now Mubadala Technology) Professor Chair and is Founding Chair of the ECE Department. He is the Founding Director of the Khalifa Semiconductor Research Center (KSRC) . His current research focuses on CMOS RF and mm-wave ICs , energy harvesting and power management, wearable Biochips and Systems on Chip ( SoCs) for the Internet of Things ( IoTs) and smart self-driving vehicles. He joined Wayne State University in Detroit, MI,USA as professor and Chair of ECE while maintaining his position at KUSTAR as an Adjunct.

He lead a research team that developed the first CMOS combo 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi Radio chip which was commercialized. More recently He developed with his colleagues the world first self-powered wearable device that predicts the onset of a heart attack long before it happens and is currently in the process of commercializing it in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, a world leading hospital in cardiology.

He advised the work of over 50 Ph.D. students and of over 100 M.S. students. He authored or co-authored over 20 books and over 170 journal publications, 300 conference papers and has 15 US patents granted and several pending.

He is the Founding Editor of the Springer Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing and serves as the Journal's Editor-in-Chief. He served the IEEE in many editorial and administrative capacities. He is the Founder of the IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (ICECS), the flagship Region 8 Conference of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and a Co-Founder of the IEEE International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED). He received the US Presidential Young Investigator Award from the White House, the Ohio State Lumley Research Award four times, in 1992, 1997, 2002 and 2007 and the US Semiconductor Research Corporation's Inventor Recognition Award twice as well as several best paper awards.
