Muhammad M. Hussain is an electronics engineer from Dhaka, Bangladesh. He specializes in using CMOS technology to create low-cost, flexible, stretchable, and reconfigurable electronics. He is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University and leads the Integrated Nanotechnology Laboratory and the Integrated Disruptive Electronic Applications (IDEA) Laboratory. He also directs the Virtual Fab laboratory (vFabLab).

Education: He earned a B.E. in electrical and electronics engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2000, an M.S. from the University of Southern California in 2002, and an M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005.

Career: He worked at Texas Instruments as an integration engineer, helping develop 22 nm MugFET technology, and later led CMOS programs at SEMATECH, with DARPA support. He joined KAUST as a founding faculty member in 2009.

Awards and roles: He is a Fellow of IEEE, the American Physical Society, the Institute of Physics (UK), and the Institute of Nanotechnology (UK). He serves as editor for Applied Nanoscience and IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, and he received the IEEE Electron Devices Society Distinguished Lecturer award. His research includes saliva-powered power generation, self-destructible electronics, paper-based electronics, smart thermal patches, paper watches, and multidimensional integrated circuits. He has been a leader in flexible inorganic electronics and helped pioneer the silicon Nanotube FET. He was Editor-in-Chief of the Handbook of Flexible and Stretchable Electronics.
