Sir Bashir Mohammed Ali Al-Hashimi (Arabic: بشير محمد علي الهاشمي; born 5 January 1961)[2] is an Iraqi-British computer engineering researcher, academic and higher education leader. He is Vice President (Research & Innovation) and ARM Professor of Computer Engineering at King's College London in the United Kingdom.[3][4] He was the co-founder and co-director of the ARM-ECS Research Centre,[5] an industry-university collaboration partnership involving the University of Southampton and ARM.[6] He is the chair of the Engineers 2030 working group, a national campaign overseen by the National Engineering Policy Centre and led by the UK Royal Academy of Engineering.[7] He is also the chair of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering's International Committee.[8]

Research and academic career

[edit]

Bashir has made contributions to the field of hardware-software co-design,[9][10] low power semiconductor chips test[11] and test-data compression of digital integrated circuits[12][13] and energy-harvesting computing.[14][15]

In 2009, he established the Pervasive Systems Centre.[16] He has published 6 books[17] and numerous peer reviewed papers.[18][19]

He was the project director for PRiME,[20] an EPSRC funded five-year programme (2013–2018).[21]

He was also the project director for the EPSRC funded Holistic battery-free electronics project,[22] aiming to develop ultra-energy-efficient electronic systems for emerging applications including mobile digital health and autonomous wireless monitoring in environmental and industrial settings.[23]

In 2014, he was appointed Executive Dean of the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering at Southampton and in 2018, as Executive Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.[24]In 2020, he joined King's College London to lead the Faculty of Natural and Mathematical Sciences.[25]

In May 2025, he was appointed Co-Director of the King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence.[26]
