Jihad Fahs received the diploma "Diplôme d'Ingénieur en Génie Électrique et Électronique" from the Lebanese University in 2008, and his M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the American University of Beirut in 2010 and 2016, respectively. In 2013, he received the CNRS Ph.D. award from the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research. In 2022, he joined the American University of Beirut, where he is currently an assistant professor. He is interested in studying transmission, compression, detection, estimation, and learning problems under non-standard statistical forms of uncertainty.
Ibrahim C. Abou-Faycal is a Prof. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the American
University of Beirut. He received his "Ingenieur des Arts et Manufactures'' diploma from
"Ecole Centrale Paris'', France, and his S.M. and Ph.D. diplomas from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, USA, in 1996 and 2001, respectively. In 2001, he was a member
of the technical staff of Vanu Inc., Cambridge, USA, and from 2001 until 2003, he was with
the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT as a postdoctoral
lecturer. Since September 2003, he has been with the Electrical and Computer Engineering
department at the American University of Beirut, where he regularly teaches courses on
communication systems, information theory, stochastic processes, data structures
and algorithms, and software–radio communication systems.
His research interests are in information theory, digital communications, optimization,
software–radio communication systems, and probabilistic noise modeling.
Ibrahim Issa joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering department as an assistant professor at the American University of Beirut in January 2019. He finished his PhD in 2017 at the School of Electrical Engineering at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY), where his thesis on information leakage earned him the Outstanding ECE PhD Thesis Research Award. He then joined the Laboratory for Information in Networked Systems at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) as a postdoctoral researcher from August 2017 to December 2018. His research interests include privacy and security, information theory, machine learning, and quantum information theory.
