Alireza Razzaghi was born in Tehran, Iran. He received his B.Sc. from Iran University of Science and Technology and his M.Sc. from Tehran University both in Electrical Engineering. During his Master’s program, he focused on designing on-chip signal processing circuitry for implantable multielectrod arrays collecting neuro biopotentials. As his Master’s project, he designed a low-noise low-offset instrumentation amplifier for the front-end of the implantable multielectrode probes.

      Alireza is completing his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Frank Chang in the High Speed Electronics Laoratory (HSEL) of the Electrical Engineering Department at UCLA. His main research was a 10b 1GS/s pipelined cascaded folding ADC in a 0.35um SiGe BiCMOS process for Digital Radar Receivers. He managed a team of five students to conduct this project.

      Alireza has designed a 6b 1GS/s ADC in a 0.25um CMOS process and a 10b 1GS/s track-and-hold amplifer in a 0.5um SiGe BiCMOS process. His research interests are mixed-signal design with emphasis on analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters.

      He is an IEEE student memeber.
