Mohammad Attari, PhD student

Mohammad Attari was born in Iran in 1983. He received his B.Eng. in Computer Hardware Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 2008, and holds an M.Sc. in Integrated Electronics System Design from Chalmers University of Technology, which he received in 2012. After his studies, he took up a position in ARM (Lund, Sweden) in the video processing division as an RTL developer.

He is currently a PhD student in the Digital ASIC research group in the Electrical and Information Technology (EIT) department at Lund University. His research focuses on developing massive MIMO and next generation baseband communications processors. His interests include (but are not limited to) computer architecture, domain specific architectures, accelerator-level parallelism, application specific instruction set processors (ASIP), neural networks, and cross-level hardware-software (-algorithm) codesign and implementation.

When not pursuing his technical endeavors, Masoud (as he prefers to be called) enjoys reading, then reading, and then reading a bit more (so much for non-technical stuff!), and maybe going climbing, running, or playing a bit of League of Legends chess (checkmating his opponents in 5 moves, on average).
