Safar Hatami received his Electronics Engineering, B.Sc. Degree in 2000, from Sharif University of Technology and his Electronics, M.Sc. Degree in 2003, from University of Tehran.  As a researcher, Safar worked at the University of Tehran from 2003 to 2005 in the Low-Power High-Performance Nanosystems Lab where he was engaged in several projects, mostly in the area of VLSI and Signal Processing.  Safar went on to attend the University of Calgary in 2006, where he worked at the iRadio Lab on GHz transmitters for Software Defined Radio Systems (SDR).  In 2008, he received his M.Sc. Degree in Communication Engineering from the University of Calgary.

In the summer of 2008, Safar worked jointly at IBM Hudson Valley Research Park and the IBM T.J. Watson Research Lab in New York on Timing Analysis.

Currently, Safar is obtaining his Electrical Engineering, Ph.D. at the University of Southern California, Viterbi School of Engineering.  Under his advisor, Professor Massoud Pedram, he is completing research at the System Power Optimization and Regulation Technologies (SPORT) Lab in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering.  Safar has a broad range of research interests including in Timing Analysis, CAD, Low Power VLSI Design, and Signal Processing.
