Michel Nakhla

Michel S Nakhla is a Chancellor's Professor at Carleton University and a researcher in electronic design automation. He is the founder of the high-speed CAD research group at Carleton University and is a frequently invited speaker on the topic of high-speed interconnects. He is the first pioneer to introduce the concept of harmonic balance,^[1] which is the backbone of current RF and microwave circuit simulators. He was awarded the IEEE Fellowship in 1998^[2] for his contributions to the development of advanced computer-aided design techniques for microwave circuits and high-speed interconnects. He has authored and co-authored over 300 technical papers^[3] that have contributed significantly to the evolution of the design automation field.
