Shuza Binzaid, PhD, a faculty of STEM at American Military University, is assigned to teach math and engineering courses. Also currently he is working as a MeMDRL (Microelectronic Materials and Devices Research Labs) faculty researcher at The University of Texas at San Antonio, engaged in energy and power system design projects for Biomed and Agricultural Systems, supported under the funds of the NSF. More than 10 years of relevant practical knowledge of engineering in electronics, ceramic sensor materials and semiconductor technology through prior working experiences including Freescale (prior Motorola) and Texas Instruments. Also experiences in NASA and Space related engineering projects for more than 5 years. 

Taught a number of engineering courses of BSEE and combined MSEE levels in 3 universities in last 7 years in the area of Semiconductor, Electronics, Energy and Power, Communications, Electromechanics etc. As an academician and expert in electronics and microelectronics, VLSI for 2D and 3D CAD/simulation, Verilog Systems Design, PSpice, Cadence, MatLab, LabView, Arduino coding and Centaurus-Synopsys, having deep interests in interface design for advanced electronics applications and is committed to expand in the areas of engineering innovation. Recently designed a µ-power V-conversion IC. Developed Engineering courses based on ABET and UGC (international) standards.Recently Dr. Binzaid has accomplished and advanced the technology of pyroelectric energy harvesting system by designing a desktop emulator system successfully. A number of MSEE students have graduated conducting their research works using this system and completed their thesis supervision at UTSA. Surrounding this innovation, he has submitted four patent applications. 

Dr. Binzaid has published more than 50 technical papers. Also a fellowship of the Paavan Education Trust was awarded in 2013 for a number of published research works in the International Journal of Life Sciences Leaflets (record # FLSL/2013/76) for making the significant contribution of technological innovation and advancements in Biomedical and Agricultural systems that also incorporated the applications of sustainable energy. He also supervised BSEE students for Senior Projects. Mentionably, some of their outstanding works were published in conferences and journals. TV interviews, newspapers and international seminars recognized few of these innovative projects. Having keen interests in online services, contributed in designing systems for online telemedicine in between 2004 and 2008, that was fully developed in 2009 is currently in use in developing countries successfully. He also co-authored two technical papers about this technology of The 3rd World Congress of TeleDermatology in 2010.
