About Me
Vice Dean for Technological Innovation and Industry Relations
Alexander Fish received the B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel, in 1999. He completed his M.Sc. in 2002 and his Ph.D. (summa cum laude) in 2006, respectively, at Ben-Gurion University in Israel. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the ATIPS laboratory at the University of Calgary (Canada) from 2006-2008. In 2008 he joined the Ben-Gurion University in Israel, as a faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. There he founded the Low Power Circuits and Systems (LPC&S) laboratory, specializing in low power circuits and systems. In July 2011 he was appointed as a head of the VLSI Systems Center at BGU. In October 2012 Prof. Fish joined the Bar-Ilan University, Faculty of Engineering as an Associate Professor and the head of the Nanoelectronics track. In March 2015, he founded the Emerging Nanoscaled Integrated Circuits and Systems (EnICS) Labs. Currently, he is a Full Professor and heads the EnICS Impact Center.
Prof. Fish’s research interests include power reduction methodologies for high speed digital and mixed signal VLSI chips, energy efficient SRAM and eDRAM memory arrays, CMOS image sensors and biomedical circuits, systems and applications and hardware security . He has authored and co-authored over 170 scientific papers in journals and conferences, including IEEE Journal of Solid State Circuits, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems and many others. He he has also submitted more than 30 patent applications of which 15 have been granted. Prof. Fish has published three book chapters and one book as an editor. He was a co-author of papers that won the Best Paper Finalist awards at IEEE ISCAS and ICECS conferences.
Prof. Fish founded and served as an Editor in Chief for the MDPI Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications (JLPEA) from 2012-2018. He is an Associate Editor for the IEEE Sensors Journal, IEEE Access Journal, Microelectronics Journal (Elsiever) and Integration, the VLSI journal (Elsiever). He has also served as a chair of different tracks of various IEEE conferences. He was a co-organizer of many special sessions at IEEE conferences, including IEEE ISCAS, IEEE Sensors and IEEEI conferences. Prof. Fish is a member of Sensory, VLSI Systems and Applications and Bio-medical Systems Technical Committees of IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.
