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 Senior Vice President (Research & Special Initiatives) 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, an industry-university collaboration partnership involving the University of Southampton and ARM.[5] 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.[6] He is also the chair of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering's International Committee.[7]

Research and academic career

Bashir has made contributions to the field of hardware-software co-design,[8][9] low power semiconductor chips test[10] and test-data compression of digital integrated circuits[11][12] and energy-harvesting computing.[13][14]

In 2009, he established the Pervasive Systems Centre.[15] He has published 6 books[16] and numerous peer-reviewed papers.[17][18]

He was the project director for PRiME,[19] an EPSRC funded five-year programme (2013–2018).[20]

He was also the project director for the EPSRC funded Holistic battery-free electronics project,[21] aiming to develop ultra-energy-efficient electronic systems for emerging applications including mobile digital health and autonomous wireless monitoring in environmental and industrial settings.[22]

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.[23] In 2020, he joined King's College London to lead the Faculty of Natural and Mathematical Sciences.[24]

In May 2025, he was appointed co-director of the King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence.[25]

Awards, honours and fellowships

Appointments

Bashir was an Elected Trustee of the Royal Academy of Engineering Board for a 3-year term to September 2024[42] and completed in 2023 a term as chair of the academy's Awards Committee.[43] He is a Board Director of the ERA Foundation[44] and was a UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF)[45] Board Trustee and Director.[46][47]

He was a member of the Research England Expanding Excellence in England (E3) Fund Assessment Panel.[48]
