Dr. Habib Youssef received a Diplôme d'Ingénieur en Informatique from the Faculté des Sciences de Tunis, University of El-Manar, Tunisia in June 1982 and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Minnesota, USA, in January 1990. From September 1990 to January 2001 he was a Faculty member of the computer engineering department of King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia (Assistant Professor from 1990 to 1995 and Associate Professor from September 1995 to January 2001). From February 2001 to June 2002, he was a Maitre de Conférences en informatique at the Faculté des Sciences de Monastir (FSM), University of Monastir, Tunisia. From July 2002 to August 2005, he served as the Director of the Institut Supérieur d’Informatique et Mathematiques of the University of Monastir. He is currently serving as a Professor of computer science and Director of the Institut Supérieur d’Informatique et des Technologies de Communication, Hammam Sousse, University of Sousse, Tunisia.

Dr. Habib Youssef has over 130 publications to his credit in the form of books, book chapters, and journal and conference papers. He is the author with S. Sait of two books, (1) "VLSI Physical Design Automation: Theory and Practice", McGraw-Hill 1995, (also co-published by IEEE Press 1995), and reprinted with corrections by World Scientific in 1999, and (2) "Iterative Computer Algorithms with Applications in Engineering", IEEE CS Press 1999, and since 2003 published by John Wiley & Sons,which has also been translated into Japanese. His main research interests are computer networks, performance evaluation of computer systems, and algorithms for the design automation of electronic systems.

Rapporteur of Doctoral Dissertation:

At Tunisian universities, a doctoral commission designates two professors, called “Rapporteurs”, for every dissertation submitted to the commission by the doctoral candidate. Each Rapporteur must evaluate the dissertation and generate a detailed report on the quality of the dissertation and whether it is worthy of defense. Only after reception of two favorable reports will the commission establish the dissertation defense committee for the candidate. The committee consists of a Chair, the two Rapporteurs, and two examining members. The five members must all have full or associate professor ranks, and at least three of them must be of full professor rank.
