Mashhad, Iran in 1999. He attended IUST (Iran University of Science and Technology ) in Tehran, Iran
to complete his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering / Communications and graduated in 2002. During his
Masters’ he worked as GSM Engineer for two years. He then joined MicroModje Industries Company,
which was active in in telecomm projects as Wireless Communications Technical Manager. With his
experience in telecomm, he joined Ericsson Company as Technical Solution Manager mainly for 2G and
3G projects. In 2009, he attended The University of Texas at San Antonio for Ph.D. degree and has been
active in research since then. His focus is 4G/LTE, Cooperative and Cognitive Communications, Security
and Complex Networks.
Thomas D. Novlan is a PhD student at UT Austin working on intercell interference coordination techniques and heterogeneous networks. He completed his B.S. with High Honors and M.S. in Electrical Engineering at UT Austin in 2007 and 2009 respectively, where he conducted undergraduate research in WNCG on WiMAX systems and the 802.16j multihop extension in particular. He was a 2006 participant in the NSF Eureca summer research program and is a recipient of the Virginia and Ernest Cockrell, Jr. Fellowship. He has held summer intern positions at Qualcomm, Intel, and AT&T Labs. Raghu Mysore Rao is a Principal Engineer and System Architect with the Wireless and Signal Processing Group, Xilinx Inc. working on digital communication algorithms and architectures for FPGA implementation, in particular MIMO and OFDM systems such as 3GPP-LTE and WiMax. He is an IEEE senior member. He has a Ph.D. in wireless communications from UCLA. Prior to his Ph.D. he was with Texas Instruments, India developing EDA algorithms for FPGAs and later with Exemplar Logic Inc., initially working on timing analysis and timing optimization algorithms and then as a Director of Engineering responsible for all product development. In 1999 he joined UCLA to pursue a Ph.D. degree in wireless communications. His interests are in digital communication and signal processing algorithms and architectures for their efficient implementation on FPGAs.
