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. He received a graduate fellowship at Stanford University, where he worked with Professor Edward McCluskey at the Center for Reliable Computing. Touba completed his Ph.D. in 1996 and went on to receive the National Science Foundation (NSF) Early Faculty CAREER Award in 1997. He was awarded the Paper Award at the VLSI Test Symposium in 2001 and elevated to IEEE Fellow status in 2009. His research interests include computer-aided design, VLSI testing, and fault-tolerant computing, where he has developed several 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 in core-based designs.
