Convergent Technologies

Introduction to the Group

The Strategic Group for Convergent Technologies was established in November 2018 within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, under the supervision of Dr. Fardmanesh and the faculty’s administration. The group aims to foster collaborative research in various fields, including neuroscience, genetic engineering, information technology, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, electronic devices, and quantum technology. The various subgroups within this program emphasize defining research projects in these convergent technology areas and have developed an educational program aligned with these research efforts. Below is a summary of the structure of the Strategic Group for Convergent Technologies, along with a list of members for each group.

The Strategic Group for Convergent Technologies consists of two main sections: the board and the subgroups. The board is responsible for setting goals, developing programs, and overseeing their implementation. Currently, given the potential of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in various convergent technology fields, eight subgroups have been formed as follows (with the names of their respective heads):

  • Neuroscience Engineering: Dr. Qazizadeh
  • Genomics / Synthetic Biology: Dr. Khalaj
  • Intelligent Machines: Dr. Bagheri
  • Bioelectromagnetic Imaging: Dr. Jahed
  • Bioelectronic and Electromagnetic Devices: Dr. Fardmanesh
  • Bio and Molecular Communications: Dr. Nasiri Kanari and Dr. Mirmohseni
  • Wearable Bio Circuits: Dr. Fotowat
  • Quantum Technology: Dr. Salehi

The current board members include the heads of the subgroups. Additionally, 39 faculty members from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering are part of the subgroups.

Each subgroup operates in both educational and research capacities. In the research section, members collaborate to define the subgroup’s research objectives and strive to secure research grants for project execution. To prepare students for research activities, the subgroup is responsible for offering appropriate courses to prepare students for research endeavors.
