Biography

Dr. Fatemeh Akbar received her Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, in 2018. Afterwards, she joined the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) as a postdoctoral research scholar. She is currently an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology.

Dr. Akbar received the Engineering Graduate Symposium Technical Award from the University of Michigan's College of Engineering in 2014, 2016, and 2017. She was also named a Rising Star by MIT's EECS in 2018 and was selected as an excellent graduate student instructor by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan in Winter 2018.

Her research focuses on analog and mixed-signal RF/mm-wave integrated circuits and systems for wireless and wireline communications, sensing, imaging, phased-array systems, radar, and biomedical applications. She emphasizes low-power, high-performance circuit and system solutions for emerging platforms in 6G, IoT, wireless sensor networks, edge AI, and next-generation bioelectronic and biomedical systems, pursued through multidisciplinary collaborations with academia and industry.
