Dr. Nur Touba

Biography

Nur Touba is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin and holds the General Motors Foundation Centennial Teaching Fellowship in Electrical Engineering. He was born and raised in suburban Minneapolis and completed his undergraduate work at the University of Minnesota, graduating Summa Cum Laude. Nur received a graduate fellowship at Stanford University, where he worked under Professor Edward McCluskey at the Center for Reliable Computing and completed his PhD in 1996. He received the National Science Foundation (NSF) Early Faculty CAREER Award in 1997, and in 2001 he was honored with a Paper Award at the VLSI Test Symposium. In 2009, he was elevated to IEEE Fellow status. His research interests lie in computer-aided design, VLSI testing, and fault-tolerant computing, where he has developed innovative techniques for automated design and testable fault-tolerant circuits, focusing particularly on built-in self-test (BIST), delay fault testing, concurrent error detection, and design-for-testability (DFT) for core-based designs.
