Dr. ARASH AHMADI

Biography
Arash Ahmadi (M'4; SM'16) received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering- Electronics from the Sharif University of Technology and Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran, in 1993 and 1997, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electronics from the University of Southampton, U.K., in 2008. From 2008 to 2010, he was a Fellow Researcher with the SpiNNaker project at the University of Southampton. He was an Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department, at Razi University (2010-2014), and a Visiting Scholar at the University of Windsor, Canada (2014-2021). Currently, he is an Assistant Professor in the Electronic Department, at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. His current research interest includes domain-specific hardware design and optimization, neuromorphic, AI-on-a-Chip, bio-inspired computing, and memristors.
