Biography

Babak Daneshrad obtained the B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from McGill University, Montreal, Canada in 1986 and 1988 respectively, with emphasis on communication systems. He obtained the Ph.D. degree from UCLA in 1993 with emphasis on integrated circuits and systems.

From 1993 to June 1996 Prof. Daneshrad was a member of the technical staff with the Wireless Communications Systems Research Dept. of AT&T Bell Laboratories where he was involved in the design and implementation of systems for high-speed indoor and outdoor wireless data communications. As a consultant with the TI DSP R&D center from June to Sept. 1996, he was involved with the design of systems for 100Base-T Ethernet. Between 1990 and 1993 he held positions as a consulting engineer in the areas of digital VLSI ASIC design and communication system design with PairGain Technologies, LinCom Corporation, Level One Communications, and Raytheon Semiconductors.

In Sept. 1996 Dr. Daneshrad joined the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he is conducting research in the areas of low power VLSI circuits for communications and signal processing, as well as system design for wireless data communication systems.
