Adam Osseiran got a PhD degree in microelectronics (1986, Grenoble – France). He was then offered a post-doc at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne – Switzerland. In 2002, Adam was headhunted to Australia to drive a Major National Research program for the test of integrated circuits.

From 2015 to 2020, Adam was Non-Executive Director at BrainChip. In 2018, together with the Nobel Laureate Professor Barry Marshall, they won the prestigious Western Australia Innovator of the Year Award. Before that, Adam was finalist of the prestigious Western Australia Innovator of the Year Award in 2011, 2012 and 2014 for developments in acoustic sensing technology.

He received many Awards from the IEEE and the Computer Society for his contributions and numerous services to the engineering community. He holds eight patents in the field of design of CMOS structure dedicated to optoelectronics image sensors for automotive applications, systems and sensors for environmental monitoring and in the field of display architecture and medical technology.

In 2014 Adam co-found Innovate Australia with the goal for the nation to become a global leader in innovation by 2030. Adam is an active researcher with main interests in neuromorphic sensing, artificial intelligent systems, environmental monitoring, water quality and sustainable energy systems.
