Abderazek Ben Abdallah is Professor, Regent, and Dean of the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Aizu, Japan, where he leads the Advanced Computing Systems Laboratory. His research focuses on next-generation computing systems, spanning computer architecture, AI and neuromorphic computing, 3D integrated circuits (3D-ICs), on-chip interconnects, and fault-tolerant embedded systems. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Electro-Communications (UEC), Tokyo, in 2002. At Aizu he has served on the Education and Research Council since 2014 and headed the Computer Engineering Division from 2014 to 2022.

He has authored four books, including Neuromorphic Computing: Principles and Organization, named one of the “Best Neuromorphic Computing Books of All Time” by BookAuthority in 2025. His record includes more than 160 publications, 17 patents (registered or pending), and funded research projects supported by JSPS KAKENHI, Fukushima Prefecture, and competitive university funds. He also led the development of the world’s first AI-driven off-grid solar carport.

He teaches computer architecture, parallel computer systems, neuromorphic computing, and embedded real-time systems. He has supervised 78 postdoctoral researchers and students to completion (4 postdocs, 11 Ph.D., 20 master’s, and 43 bachelor’s), from nine countries, and has served as an external Ph.D. examiner at the University of Otago (New Zealand) and Murdoch University (Australia). He has also taught invited courses at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the African University of Science and Technology, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Kyoto Institute of Technology, and Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.

He is an Associate Editor of IEEE Computer, IEEE Network, Frontiers in Neuroscience (Neuromorphic Engineering), and Intelligence & Robotics, and previously served on the editorial board of the Journal of Embedded Systems (2015–2020). He founded the IEEE MCSoC Forum and has chaired its steering committee since 2004, contributes to the IEEE P3722 standard on Responsible AI in Higher Education, and serves on IEEE CASS technical committees (CASEO and VSA). He is an IEEE CASS Distinguished Lecturer for 2026–2027. His honors include the Tunisian Presidential Prize for Scientific Research and Technology (2010), several Best Paper Awards, and election as a Full Member of Sigma Xi (2025). He is a Senior Member of IEEE and ACM.
