Michel S Nakhla is a Chancellor's Professor at Carleton University and a researcher in electronic design automation.
He is the founder of the high-speed CAD research group at Carleton University and is a frequently invited speaker on the topic of high-speed interconnects.
He is the first pioneer to introduce the concept of harmonic balance,[1] which is the backbone of current RF and microwave circuit simulators.
He was awarded the IEEE Fellowship in 1998[2] for his contributions to the development of advanced computer-aided design techniques for microwave circuits and high-speed interconnects.
He has authored and co-authored over 300 technical papers[3] that have contributed significantly to the evolution of the design automation field.
