Education and career

Amin graduated with a B.S. (cum laude) and M.S. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1982 and 1985 respectively. During those times, he was a member of the Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Societies. He then obtained his M.S. and D.Sc. degrees in systems science and mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri on 1986 and 1990 respectively. From 2001 to 2007, Amin was a member of the Board on Infrastructure and Constructed Environment at the National Academy of Engineering and a in 2006 served as Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Computational Sciences & Engineering Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Following it, he joined the Board on Mathematical Sciences and Their Applications, serving as such until 2009. From 2010 to 2012, he served as a chairman of the advisory board of the Instrumentation, Control & Intelligent Systems of Idaho National Laboratory.[8]
