Adly T. Fam

Adly T. Fam is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University at Buffalo, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He has been a faculty member since 1977 and attained the rank of Professor in 1987. His research spans digital signal processing, arithmetic-intensive computing, communications, and radar systems.

His educational qualifications include:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine (1977)
• MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine (1975)
• BS in Electrical Engineering from Cairo University (1968)

Professor Fam's primary research interests are in digital signal processing with applications in radar and communications. He has pioneered work in logarithmic frequency domain waveform design for radar and communications, as well as efficient hardware implementations for arithmetic circuits. His research integrates theoretical system design with practical engineering solutions to address challenges in signal processing and communications.

Analysis of his recent publications (2018-2023) reveals a strong focus on radar waveform design using logarithmic frequency domain techniques and innovations in digital circuit design for arithmetic operations. Key themes include multicarrier logarithmic warped frequency domain code waveforms for joint radar-communications systems and novel approaches to binary counters and multipliers that improve computational efficiency and reduce hardware complexity.

Professor Fam has authored over 120 journal and conference publications and holds four patents in the areas of system theory, digital signal processing, arithmetic-intensive computing, computer arithmetic, radar, and communications codes.
