Alex Doboli

Alex Doboli is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stony Brook University, State University of New York. He is also affiliated with SUNY Korea’s Department of ECE. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Cincinnati (2000) and earlier degrees from Politehnica University Timisoara, Romania (B.Eng. 1990, Doctorate 1997). He served as junior faculty at Politehnica University before joining Stony Brook in 2000.

His research focuses on Electronic Design Automation (EDA), Cyber-Physical Systems, and Human-inspired Machine Learning. Key areas include analog/mixed-signal design, innovation methodologies, and data-driven design approaches. He has authored over 170 peer-reviewed publications and co-authored a textbook on mixed-signal design. His lab, the Mixed-Domain Embedded Systems Laboratory, explores team behavior modeling, IoT integration, and cognitive architectures.

Dr. Doboli has advised 17 Ph.D. and 12 M.S. students. Notable awards include the IBM Partnership Award (2001) and the Traian Lalescu Award (1987). He serves as an Associate Editor for Integration, the VLSI Journal and holds leadership roles in professional organizations like the IEEE Long Island Circuits and Systems Society.

His teaching spans undergraduate and graduate courses in programming, algorithms, VLSI design, and machine learning. Current courses include ESE 327: Fundamental Algorithms for Machine Learning and ESE 589: Learning Systems for Engineering Applications.

Recent research highlights include automated dialog systems (diaLogic), IoT-human behavior integration frameworks, and studies on artistic understanding in neural networks. His work bridges EDA, machine learning, and embedded systems to advance design innovation and human-centric technologies.
