Omid Kavehei obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Computer System Engineering with the highest rank in 2003. His final year research project was carried out on Current-Mode Computing. He obtained his Master’s Degree in Computer Systems Architecture Engineering from Shahid Beheshti University, again with highest rank on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Design Aspects of Arithmetic Circuits: Adders, Compressors, and Multipliers. He also carried out several research projects on system-on-chip, digital signal processing, analogue computing, operating systems, distributed systems, control, and bioinformatics. He was accepted to the PhD program on Computer Systems Architecture Engineering at his alma mater with highest rank in written and oral exams. He finished two years of course work with 92 percent average. Courses include, Quantum Computing, Graph Theory, Special Topics in Digital Signal Processing, Arithmetic Aspects of VLSI, Modeling and Analysis of Digital Systems. In March 2008, he successfully passed oral exam for a PhD proposal on Low-Power Circuit Design in Ultra Deep-Submicron CMOS Technology to investigate impact of yield aware design techniques on the energy consumption of advanced CMOS technologies used in computer arithmetic system implementation. He remained in this position until he moved to Australia. He also served at his alma mater as a research and teaching assistant and a casual lecturer. In this role, he conducted VLSI Design course and Digital Logic Design Labs in the Department of Computer Engineering.

In 2008, he was granted an Australian Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (EIPRS) and University of Adelaide Scholarship to pursue his PhD under Said F. Al-Sarawi and Derek Abbott, the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, The University of Adelaide. In 2009 and 2010, he was a Visiting Scholar at the Technology Park, the Chungbuk National University, South Korea, hosted by Kamran Eshraghian. During his candidature, Kavehei received a D. R. Stranks Travelling Fellowship, 2009, Simon Rockliff Scholarship for the most outstanding postgraduate mentorship from the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering and DSTO, 2010, Research Abroad Scholarship, 2010, and the Korea’s World Class University program research fellowships, 2009 and 2010. He was also a student member of the IEEE, IEEE Communications Society, the Institution of Engineers Australia, Australasian Association for Engineering Education, WCU (KOSEF) project member, and an executive member of the SA IEEE student chapter called the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Society of Adelaide University. In 2011, he received the Young Nanotechnology Ambassador award fromm the ARC Australian Nanotechnology Network.
