Biographical sketch
Dr. Hashemi served as a consulting engineer at Stanford Research
Institute, Menlo Park, California in 1977. From 1977 to 1979 he was
a Member of Technical Staff at Bell Telephone Laboratories in
Holmdel, N.J., where he carried out pioneering research towards
development of first generation cellular mobile radio telephone
systems. From 1979 to 2003 he served as a faculty member at the
Electrical Engineering Department of Sharif University of
Technology, the leading engineering school in Iran, where he was
promoted to the rank of full professor in 1993. During over two
decades of service at Sharif he played major role in enhancing the
department’s programs by initiating key projects and designing new
educational programs. He was on sabbatical leave at NovAtel
Communications Ltd. in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in the 1990-91
academic year, where he worked on various projects related to
wireless communications. He spent the summers of 1992 and 1994 at
the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Ottawa,
and the summer of 1993 at Telecommunications Research Labs in
Calgary, Canada. During these visits he defined and supervised three
major projects on propagation modeling for wireless personal
communication system design. In each project the largest data base
of its kind in the world was set up and analyzed. Dr. Hashemi has
done research on different aspects of wireless communications,
including general system architecture, resource management,
propagation modeling, performance analysis, and capacity evaluations
for digital cellular, microcellular, and indoor wireless
communication systems. His channel simulator model SURP, developed
in the 1970's, has been used internationally in the design of second
and third generation wireless communication systems in the 1980's
and 1990's. He carried out pioneering research on indoor propagation
modeling in the 1990’s, and has extensive publications on the topic.
Citing him for his "contributions to propagation modeling for
wireless personal communication systems" Dr. Hashemi was elected a
Fellow of the IEEE in 2002.
