Azita
Emami-Neyestanak
Assistant Professor of
Electrical Engineering
Azita Emami received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical
Engineering from Stanford University in 1999 and 2004
respectively. She received her B.S. degree from Sharif
University of Technology in 1997, with honors. At Stanford
she was offered the Solid-State Lab's merit-based research
assistantship, and was a member of VLSI Research Group,
where she worked on variety of projects in the areas
of integrated circuits and system design. The focus of
her research was high-speed and low-power interconnects,
clocking and synchronization techniques. During her PhD
she also had close collaboration with Stanford Photonics
Lab. She designed and implemented low-power transceivers
for optical interconnects, with novel techniques for
clock and data recovery. As part of this collaboration
she worked on optical clock injection using short-pulse
lasers.
Professor Emami joined IBM T. J. Watson Research Center
in 2004 as a research staff member in the Communication
Technologies Department. Her research projects at IBM include
DFE receivers for electrical links, clock and data recovery
techniques, and novel digital solutions for circuits in
highly-scaled CMOS technologies. From Fall 2006 to Summer
2007, she was an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering
at Columbia University in the city of New York.
In 2007, she joined Caltech, where she is now an Assistant
Professor of Electrical Engineering.
Her current research interests include mixed-signal integrated
circuits and systems, high-speed on-chip and chip-chip
electrical and optical interconnects, system and circuit
design solutions for highly-scaled CMOS technologies, clock
generation and distribution, synchronization techniques,
and optoelectronics.
Professor Emami participates in the Focus Center Research
Program (FCRP), Center on Circuits and Software Solutions
(C2S2). She has served on the program committee of ICCD
in 2005 and 2006. |
