Amr M. Fahim received his B.A.Sc, M.A.Sc, and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Waterloo in Computer Engineering in 1996 and Electrical Engineering in 1997, and 2000 respectively. During his graduate studies, he has had research collaboration twice with industry. In May - August 1996, he worked with Rockwell Semiconductor Systems (currently Mindspeed) in Newport Beach, California designing lowpower PLL-based on-chip clock generators for microprocessors. In June - December 1999, he worked with Texas Instruments designing low-power RF fractional-N frequency synthesizers. Upon completion of his Ph.D. degree in 2000, he joined Qualcomm Inc., San Diego, CA, where he spent four years driving the development of mixedsignal IC cores for clocking generator systems for integrated analog/digital Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipsets. He is currently with Skyworks Solutions Inc. in Irvine, CA, working on mixed-signal and radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) designs. His research interests include design and analysis of low-power integrated frequency synthesis techniques and mixedsignal/ RF system-on-a-chip (SoC) processors. He has authored over 25 papers and has several U.S. and European patents to his credit. He has also been a reviewer for numerous papers sent for publication including the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II, Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, and VLSI Symposium
