Education

Deen ^[5] completed a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Guyana in 1978, winning both the Chancellor's Medal ^[6] as well as the Dr. Irving Adler's Prize for being the best mathematics student. After working for two years at the University of Guyana,^[7] he won the prestigious Fulbright scholarship ^[8][9] (under the Latin American program) to undertake graduate work at Case Western Reserve University. Later as a doctoral student, he won an American Vacuum Society ^[10] Scholarship. He completed his doctoral dissertation on the design and modeling of a new CARS (coherent anti-Stokes scattering) spectroscopy system for dynamic temperature measurements and combustion optimization in rocket and jet engines,^[11][12] in 1985.

Research and publication

Deen has published extensively on microelectronics/nanoelectronics and optoelectronics including works on the noise in electronic devices.^[13] As stated by McMaster University on "Faces of Innovation",^[14] Jamal Deen is generally regarded as "A leading expert in modeling, design and applications of modern advanced semiconductor devices and circuits". ^{[citation needed]} He has co-edited two research monographs Low Temperature Electronics: Physics, Devices, Circuits, and Applications^[15] and CMOS RF Modeling, Characterization and Applications ^[16]

Honours

Deen has been honoured many times ^[12] by his peers through his election to the highest status in professional societies and national academies. In 2019 he was appointed to the Order of Canada in recognition of his contributions to the fields of electrical engineering and applied physics.^[17] The following year he was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.^[17]
