Early life and education

Moeness Amin was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. He graduated with a BSc degree in electrical engineering from Cairo University in 1976, and after teaching there for a year, he left to receive his MSc degree in electrical engineering from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in 1980. In 1984 he then graduated with a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder.[1]

Academic career

Amin joined the faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Villanova University in 1985.[2] In 2002, he became the Director of the Center for Advanced Communications (CAC), College of Engineering at Villanova University.[3] As a researcher, Amin is known for his work on through-the-wall radar imaging.[4] He is also known for his research applying signal processing to radar,[5] communications,[6][7], and satellite navigation.[8][9]

Amin became a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2001, a fellow of SPIE in 2007,[10] a Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology in 2010,[11][12] and a fellow of the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) in 2015.[13] In 2016, he received the Humboldt Prize and was visiting professor at Technische Universität Darmstadt from 2016 to 2019.[14][15][16] In 2017, Amin was appointed as a Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Advanced Science and Technology.[17]

Editing

Amin is the editor of the 2010 book Through Wall Radar Imaging,[18] the 2015 book Compressive Sensing for Urban Radar,[19] and the 2017 book Radar for Indoor Monitoring: Detection, Classification, and Assessment.[20]

Recognition

In 2000, Amin was awarded the Third Millennium Medal from IEEE,[21] and was named a Distinguished Lecturer by the IEEE Signal Processing Society between 2003 and 2004.[22] In 2009, he received the Individual Technical Achievement Award from EURASIP.[23] In 2014, Amin received the Technical Achievement Award from IEEE Signal Processing Society.[24] He then received the Excellence in Radar Engineering, Warren D. White Award from IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society in 2015,[25] and both the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award and IET Achievement Medal in 2016.[26][27]

Amin received the 2009 Best Paper Award from IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing[28] and the 2016 Premium Paper Award, IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation[29] In 2017, he received both the Harry Rowe Mimno Paper Award from the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine[30] and the EURASIP Best Paper Award for Signal Processing (EURISIP-ELSEVIER).[31] In 2018, he received the M. Barry Carlton Paper Award from the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems.[32]
