Suhaib A. Fahmy is Associate Professor of Computer Science and Principal Investigator of the Accelerated Connected Computing Lab (ACCL) at KAUST. His research explores hardware acceleration of complex algorithms and the integration of these accelerators within wider computing infrastructure.

Suhaib Fahmy graduated from Imperial College London in 2003 with a First Class Honours MEng in Information Systems Engineering, and in 2008 with a PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. From 2007 to 2009, he was Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin and Visiting Research Engineer at Xilinx Research Labs, Ireland, working on adaptive architectures for cognitive and software-defined radio systems. He was Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Engineering at Nanyang Technological University from 2009 to 2015, where he served as Deputy Director of the Centre for High Performance Embedded Systems (CHiPES), and Deputy Program Director for the MSc in Embedded Systems. His research there explored the use of reconfigurable systems in domains including communications, cyber-physical systems, and automotive networks. He was Associate Professor, Reader, then Professor of Computer Engineering at the University of Warwick from 2015, where he led the Connected Systems Research Group in the School of Engineering as well as leading the Computer Systems Engineering degree programme. He was Turing Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute in London from 2017 to 2021.

Dr Fahmy received the Best Paper Award at the IEEE Conference on Field Programmable Technology (FPT) in 2012, the IBM Faculty Award in 2013 and 2017, the Community Award at the International Conference on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications in 2016 and 2024, the ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems Best Paper Award in 2019 and the Best Paper Award at the IEEE High Performance Extreme Computing Conference in 2021. He serves on the technical program committees for a number of prestigious conferences in the area of reconfigurable computing, actively reviews for many journals in related areas, and sits on the ACM/SIGDA Technical Committee on FPGAs and Reconfigurable Computing. Dr Fahmy is a Senior Member of the IEEE, Senior Member of the ACM, Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the IET, and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
