Sameh Ibrahim, sameh@ee.ucla.edu
  Sameh A. Ibrahim received his B.Sc. (with honors) and M.Sc. in electrical engineering from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt in 2001 and 2005, respectively. His primary research in his Master's was the design of low power / low sensitivity to process variations integrated CMOS RF receivers. In September 2005, he joined the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a PhD student where the primary focus of his research is very high speed serial links. From 2001 to 2005, He worked as a teaching assistant in the ECE dept. in Ain Shams University. He had also the chance to work as a part-timer VLSI designer in AIAT inc. where he participated in different design projects; DC/DC converters, FM receivers, delta sigma ADCs, GSM speech synthesizer, ...etc. He is a member of IEEE since 1999. His research interests include very high speed data links, RFICs design for wireless communications and wireless architectures and system design.
