Welcome from the Chair

For nearly 50 years, the Department of Electrical Engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT), also known as Tehran Polytechnic, continues to rank as one of the most prestigious electrical engineering programs in the country and at the international level.

While electrical engineering was traditionally known as one engineering field, it now encompasses many areas of interest including radars, lasers, medical and RS imaging, optical communications, control systems, microchips, embedded computers, cell phones, autonomous robots, speech recognition and synthesis, wireless communications, power systems, and photonics.  With the advent of the information technology revolution, new horizons for better serving the human kind through further developments in the field of electrical engineering are anticipated.

I am privileged and honored to be leading the Department of Electrical Engineering at AUT.  We strive to provide outstanding educational and research programs that enable our graduating students to become leaders in their professions by imparting fundamental principles, skills, and tools to innovate and excel.  We offer an outstanding learning environment which supports (a) rich and meaningful academic studies and (b) research projects tightly integrated with modern engineering standards as well as industrial practices.  Our world-class graduates are sought for careers in industry, government, and universities.  We encourage the habit of ‘life-long learning’ for our students that enables them to continue their education throughout their professions. 

Our academic faculty members and students are involved in educational and research activities that have high influence and great impact in the academia as well as industry.  As such, there are two distinguished Centers of Excellence in Power Systems and Radio Communications at the Department of Electrical Engineering of AUT that have been appointed by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology.  The main reason for the appointments is the high quality performance both in education and research activities.  The centers are founded based on the collaboration of prominent academic faculty members and technical staff and fully equipped laboratories.  We are dedicated to innovation, creativity, professionalism and high expectations for quality of work, teamwork, and personal growth of our academic faculty members, staff, and students.
