He is also the Director of the Micro- and Nano-Systems Laboratory.

Key takeaways

M. Jamal Deen belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect M. Jamal Deen to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of M. Jamal Deen from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Mohamed Jamal Deen is an Indo-Guyanese professor and Senior Canada Research Chair in Information Technology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He is also the Director of the Micro- and Nano-Systems Laboratory. His research specialty are in the broad areas of electrical engineering and applied physics, for which he was recognized in 2019 by an appointment to the Order of Canada.

Education Deen completed a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Guyana in 1978, winning both the Chancellor's Medal 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, he won the prestigious Fulbright scholarship (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 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, in 1985.

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

Honours Deen has been honoured many times 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. The following year he was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering in 2007. Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering. Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada. Fellow of the Electrochemical Society. Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Honorary Member of the World Innovation Foundation, the foundation's highest honor. Fellow of the American Physical Society.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with M. Jamal Deen

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what M. Jamal Deen claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to M. Jamal Deen before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about M. Jamal Deen ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of M. Jamal Deen

In research: M. Jamal Deen appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses M. Jamal Deen in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: M. Jamal Deen is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1955 births, Academic staff of McMaster University, Alumni of Queen's College, Guyana, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for M. Jamal Deen outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
