Tyseer Aboulnasr

Tyseer Aboulnasr is a Professor of electrical engineering in the School of Information Technology and Engineering. Dr Aboulnasr received the B.Eng. degree from Cairo University, Egypt, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Queen's University, Kingston, Canada; all in electrical engineering. Dr. Aboulnasr received the Ottawa-Carleton YWCA Women of Distinction Award (education) in 1999 and became Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada in 2002 and a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering in 2003. She was chair of the Council of Ontario Deans of Engineering in 2001-2002. She was Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Ottawa for a term 1998-2004. She was named one of the top 100 influential people in Ottawa in 2001. Her highest honor was received in 2005 when she was named as one of the 2004 recipients of the prestigious Order of Ontario. She has participated in several revues of strategic plans of several faculties of engineering nationally and internationally. Dr. Aboulnasr taught a variety of undergraduate, graduate as well as short courses for industry. Her research interests are in the general area of digital signal processing and its applications. More specifically, her interests include adaptive signal processing (algorithms/implementations and applications), blind signal processing and multirate signal processing. Applications include echo cancellation, system modeling, and signal enhancement. Depending on the project, some research work is conducted in close cooperation with industry. Dr. Aboulnasr was an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing (1994–1996).
