Prof. M Jamal Deen received his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics at Case Western Reserve University in 1985. His PhD dissertation was on the design and modeling of a new CARS spectrometer for dynamic temperature measurements and combustion optimization in rocket and jet engines and was sponsored and used by NASA, Cleveland, USA. He received the Doctor Degree in Engineering (honoris causa) from the University of Waterloo, Canada (2011), the Doctor degree (honoris causa) from the Universidad de Granada, Granada, Spain (2012) and the Doctor degree (honoris causa) from the Universitat Rovira I Virgili (URV), Tarragona, Spain (2014) for his exceptional scholarly achievements and service contributions, and exemplary professionalism.

As a graduate student, he was a Fulbright-Laspau Scholar (1980-1982) and an American Vacuum Society Scholar (1983-1984). Prof Deen received other awards include the Thomas D. Callinan Award (2002) as well as the Electronics and Photonics Award (2011) from the Electrochemical Society; a Humboldt Research Award (2006) from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation; an IBM Faculty Award in 2006; the Eadie Medal from the Royal Society of Canada in 2008, the Fessenden Silver Medal in 2011, the Ham Outstanding Engineering Educator Medal in 2014, as well as the McNaughton Gold Medal in 2013, all from the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Canada. Prof Deen has also been elected by his peers as Fellow of nine national academies and professional societies including The Royal Society of Canada (FRSC) - The Academies of Arts, Humanities and Sciences of Canada, The Canadian Academy of Engineering (FCAE), The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (FIEEE), The American Physical Society (FAPS), and The Electrochemical Society (FECS).
