Biography:
Kaveh Rahbardar Mojaver was born in Mashhad, Iran, in 1986. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran, Iran, in 2009 and 2011, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from Concordia University in 2018, all in electrical engineering. In May 2018 he joined the Photonic Systems Group of McGill University as a postdoctoral fellow, where he is currently pursuing his research career. In April 2019, he received the Fonds de Recherche du Québec - Nature et technologies -B3X postdoctoral research scholarship.
In 2009 his B.S. final project entitled “Design and implementation of Michelson sensitive optic-acoustic detector” received the award of “the best B.S. final project” from electrical engineering department.
During 2009-2011, he was with the Photonics Research Laboratory (PRL) of Tehran Polytechnic as a graduate research assistant where he did his master thesis on analysis, modeling and simulation of Transistor Lasers.
From 2011 to 2013 he was the part time faculty member at Islamic Azad University-Tehran East Branch.
From January 2014 to April 2018 he was with the Reliable Electron Device Laboratory of Concordia University as a PhD research assistant where he was conducting his research on micro-fabrication and physics-based modeling of III-nitride heterojunction field effect transistors (HFETs). During his PhD studies, he was teacher assistant in electrical and computer engineering department in wide variety of courses.
Dr. Rahbardar Mojaver’s research is mainly on micro-fabrication, modeling and characterization of III-nitride HFETs, and photonics integrated circuits. His works on these topics has been published in several journal and conference publications.
