Dr. Sin Ming Loo received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering and M.S. degree
in computer engineering from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and his Ph.D. in
computer engineering from the University of Alabama in Birmingham and the University of
Alabama in Huntsville. In 2003, he joined the faculty of the Electrical and Computer
Engineering Department at Boise State University. Dr. Loo’s teaching interests are in the
areas of logic design, rapid prototyping of digital systems, computer architecture,
reconfigurable computing, hardware description languages, hardware programming languages,
parallel processing, hardware/software codesign, and computer security. His research
interests are in the areas of scheduling, parallel processing, computational science,
embedded system, hardware/software codesign, sensor systems, and reconfigurable
computing. He is the institution PI of the FAA Center of Excellence for Airliner Cabin
Environment Research at Boise State University. He also contributes to the EPA IMS sensor
project. Sin Ming Loo is a member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, American Society of
Engineering Education, International Society for Computers and Their Applications, and
Tau Beta Pi.
