Short Biography:

I was born in Shiraz, Iran in 1983. I received my BS in Electrical Engineering from University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, in 2005. I am currently working toward the M. Sc. degree in Electronics (Circuit and  System) at University of Tehran. My thesis is based on very high speed digital circuit implementation. My research interests also include process variations, yield, and soft errors.

Thesis Abstract:

CMOS technology has reached to Nano scales. Transistors and circuits has encountered many expected and unexpected problems, some issues like Process Variations, Soft Errors, yield and leakages. New circuit design needs to consider these problems. In my thesis besides deep study on Process Variations, Soft Errors, and power leakages I am working on designing and implementation of  very high speed computational digital circuits in Sub-70nm CMOS technology. This design will consider Nano-CMOS main issues like process variations, and power leakages.
