Payam Heydari received his B.S. and M.S. degrees
(Honors) in Electrical Engineering
from Sharif University of Technology in 1992 and 1995, respectively. He received his
Ph.D. degree at the
University of Southern California in 2001. He
is now an Assistant Professor of Electrical
Engineering at the University of California,
Irvine.
During the
summer of 1997, he was with Bell-labs, Lucent Technologies where he worked on
noise analysis in deep submicron CMOS integrated circuits. He worked at IBM T.
J. Watson Research Center on gradient-based optimization and sensitivity
analysis of custom integrated circuits during the summer of 1998.
Professor Heydari has received the 2005
National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award. He was recognized as the 2004 Outstanding Faculty at the EECS Department of the University of California, Irvine.
He has also received the Best Paper Award at the 2000 IEEE
International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD), the 2000 Honorable Mention Award from the Department of EE-Systems
at the University of Southern California, and the
2001 Technical Excellence Award in the area of Electrical Engineering from the Association
of Professors and Scholars of Iranian Heritage.
Professor Heydari currently serves as the member of the
Technical Program Committees of International Symposium on Low-Power
Electronics and Design (ISLPED),
International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED), and the Local
Arrangement Chair of the ISLPED conference. He was the Student Design Contest
Judge for the DAC/ISSCC Design Contest Award in
2003. He served on the Technical Program Committees of
IEEE
Design and Test in Europe (DATE) from 2003 to 2004, and the 2003
International
Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD).
He is a member of the Henry Samueli School of Engineering's
Center for Embedded Computer Systems (the
circuit design group) and Center
for Pervasive Communications and Computing at UCI.
His research interests include the design and
analysis of high frequency analog, RF, and mixed-signal ICs, and analysis of
high frequency effects of on-chip interconnects in high-speed ICs. He has published
papers in premier conferences on integrated circuit design and simulation including ISSCC, CICC,
RFIC Symposium, DAC, ICCAD.
He is a member of the
IEEE and a member of the ACM -
SIGDA.
