Jawad A. Salehi,[1] IEEE Fellow, (Persian: جواد صالحی‎) born in Kazemain (Kadhimiya), Iraq, on December 22, 1956 is an Iranian electrical and computer engineer, pioneer of optical code division multiple access (CDMA) and a highly cited researcher.[2] He is also a board member of Academy of Sciences of Iran and a fellow of Islamic World Academy of Sciences. He was also elected as a member of Iranian Science and Culture Hall of Fame (چهره‌های ماندگار) in Electrical Engineering, October 2010.

Education

Dr. Salehi received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Irvine, in 1979, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees, all in electrical engineering, from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, in 1980 and 1984, respectively.

Affiliations

From 1981 to 1984, he was a full-time Research Assistant at Communication Science Institute at USC, where he was engaged in research in the area of spread spectrum systems. On 1984 he joined Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), Morristown, New Jersey as a Member of Technical Staff of the Applied Research Area. Meanwhile, from February to May 1990, he was with the Laboratory of Information and Decision Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, as a Visiting Research Scientist conducting research on optical multiple-access networks. He left Bellcore (Now Telcordia) on 1993.

Later on 1997, Dr. Salehi joined Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran as a faculty member and was an Associate Professor and since 2003 he has become a Full Professor with the department of Electrical Engineering (EE), Sharif University of Technology (SUT). From 1999 to 2001, he was the Head of Mobile Communications Systems Group and Co-director of Advanced and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Laboratory at Iran Telecom Research Center (ITRC), Tehran, conducting research in the area of advance CDMA techniques for optical and radio communications systems.

Dr Jawad Salehi at his Lab

In 2003, he founded and directed the Optical Networks Research Laboratory (ONRL),[3] Electrical Engineering Department, SUT, for advanced theoretical and experimental research in futuristic fiber-optic communication and all-[optical networking]. He is also a Cofounder of Advanced Communications Research Institute (ACRI)[4] at SUT for advancing the graduate school research program in communications science.

Research

Professor Salehi's current research interests include fiber-optic communications and optical multiaccess networks, in particular, optical orthogonal codes (OOC); fiber-optic CDMA; femtosecond or ultra-short light pulse CDMA; spread time CDMA; holographic CDMA; wireless indoor optical CDMA; all-optical synchronization; and applications of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) in optical systems. he is father of OOC code generation and he is also given OCDMA concept.
