Ata Zadehgol is an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) at the University of Idaho. He received his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Washington (Seattle, 1996), the University of California (Davis, 2006) and the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign, 2011), respectively. He joined the faculty of the ECE department in the University of Idaho, Moscow, in 2014. Since 1996, he has held various research and development positions in industry and academia, in the area of numerical and computational electromagnetics, signal and power integrity of high performance and dense microelectronic systems on package (SoP) and on chip (SoC), and electromagnetic compatibility. His research interests and activities include computational techniques in electromagnetic modeling, simulation, analysis and design of high-performance and dense microelectronic systems, as well as scattering and remote sensing, thermal sensing, microelectronic sensors, control, optimization and multi-physics phenomena.
