Biography

Morteza S. Alavi was born in Tehran, Iran. He received the B.S.E.E and M.S.E.E degrees from the Iran University of Science and Technology and the University of Tehran in 2003 and 2006, respectively, and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Delft University of Technology (TU-Delft), Delft, The Netherlands in 2014.

He was a Co-Founder and the CEO of DitIQ BV, Delft, a local company developing energy-efficient, wideband wireless transmitters for the next generation of the cellular network. Since September 2016, he has been with the Electronic Circuits and Architectures (ELCA) Research Group, TU-Delft, where he is currently a tenured Assistant Professor. His main areas of research interest are designing single-chip RFIC for wireless and cellular communication systems and CMOS wireline transceivers. He has co-authored Radio-Frequency Digital-to-Analog Converter (Elsevier, 2016).

He was the Best Paper Award recipient of the 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Radio-Frequency Integrated Technology (RFIT). He received the Best Student Paper Award (Second Place) at the 2013 Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium. His Ph.D. student also won the Best Student Paper Award (First Place) of the 2017 RFIC Symposium held in Honolulu, HI, USA. His research group received the 2021 Institute of Semiconductor Engineers (ISE) President Best Paper Award of the International SoC Design Conference (ISOCC).

One of his Ph.D. students also received the Platinum Award (first place) for Huawei student RFIC design content. Also, in 2021, one of his Ph.D. students was awarded the 2021-2022 IEEE SSCS Predoctoral Achievement award.
