Mehran Moghadam, a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering (ECSE) at Case Western Reserve University, received the prestigious IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Pre-Doctoral Grant Award, which was highly competitive this year. Awarded to only three students worldwide this cycle, the $2,500 grant recognizes full-time PhD students demonstrating exceptional academic and research capability in the field of circuits and systems.
Advised by M. Hassan Najafi, a professor in the ECSE department, Moghadam's research focuses on energy-efficient hardware architectures for emerging and unconventional computing paradigms, such as energy-efficient stochastic computing, real-time hyperdimensional computing, intermittent computing, robust in-memory arithmetic architectures, and low-power in-/near-sensor processing for edge AI and wearable platforms.
Moghadam received the award in October.
