Hamed Rahmani is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at New York University (NYU). He received a Ph.D. degree from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), an M.Sc. degree from Rice University, Houston, TX, and a B.Sc. degree from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, all in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Before joining NYU, he held multiple industry and research positions. As a research scientist, he worked with IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights on high-speed electrical/optical interconnects. He was an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University in New York, NY, and a visiting lecturer at Princeton University, where he offered graduate-level courses in analog and RF circuit design. He was also a senior RFIC design engineer at Qualcomm Inc., where he focused on advanced 5G transmitters for cellular applications and RF front-end designs.

He is also the recipient of several prestigious awards and fellowships including the IEEE MTT-S Graduate Fellowship for medical applications and the Texas Instruments Distinguished Fellowship. He has been a member of the Custome Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC) Technical Program Committee (TPC) since 2024 and the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) since 2021. Also, he is a member of “MTT-26: RFID, Wireless Sensors and IoT” and an affiliate member of ” MTT-25: wireless power transfer and energy conversion” technical committees of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society.
