Biography

Roger Achkar received the B.E. degree in electrical engineering from the Faculty of Engineering, Lebanese University, Branch II, Roumieh, Lebanon, in 2002, the master’s degree in research (DEA) from the Faculty of Engineering, Lebanese University in 2004, and the Ph.D. degree in energetic system and information from the University of Technology of Compiegne, France, in 2008. He is the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, American University of Science and Technology and an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering. He developed and applied, on an active magnetic bearing, an artificial neural network able to control non-linear systems. Currently, he is leading several research projects in the area of artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, communications, vision, and control. His research interests are in electrical, communications, and mechanical engineering education. He played a major role, as a Chairman of the Computer and Communications Engineering Department, in receiving the ABET Accreditation for the Program at the American University of Science and Technology. He organized many conferences, workshops, and trainings in the fields of communication, robotics, programming, and artificial intelligence. He was responsible of establishing many MOUs with different national and international companies, and cooperation agreements with competitive national and international programs in Computer and Communications, Petroleum, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. He has been a member of the Order of Engineers and Architects in Lebanon since 2005 and a Treasurer of the IEEE Lebanon Section.
