Professor Naeemi received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Sharif University, Tehran, Iran in 1994, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Ga. in 2001 and 2003, respectively.

Prior to his graduate studies (from 1994 to 1999), he was a design engineer with Partban and Afratab Companies, both located in Tehran, Iran. He worked as a research engineer in the Microelectronics Research Center at Georgia Tech from 2004 to 2008 and joined the ECE faculty at Georgia Tech in fall 2008.

His technical research crosses the boundaries of materials, devices, circuits, and systems, investigating integrated circuits based on conventional and emerging nanoscale devices and interconnects. His educational research includes experiential learning environments and their impact on conceptual understanding of scientific and engineering topics. He serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal on Exploratory Computational Devices and Circuits (JXCDC) and is the Associate Director for Computation for the NSF-supported National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI). He is a recipient of the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Paul Rappaport Award, the Inaugural IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) James Meindl Innovators Award, an NSF CAREER Award, an SRC Inventor Recognition Award, and several best paper awards from international conferences.
