Omid Kavehei obtained his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Computer System Engineering with the highest rank in 2003 and 2005, respectively. His final year research projects in his B.E. and M.E. were carried out on current-mode computing and very large scale integration design aspects of arithmetic circuits, respectively. Throughout his study he carried out several research projects on system-on-chip design, digital signal processing, analogue computing, operating systems (grouping), distributed systems, real-time control and bioinformatics. He was accepted to the PhD program on Computer Systems Architecture Engineering at his alma mater, Shahid Beheshti University (aka: National University of Iran), with highest rank in written and oral exams. In March 2008, he finished a Coursework Doctorate with 93 percent average. He also served at his alma mater as a research and teaching assistant and a casual lecturer for VLSI and Electronic design courses.

In July 2008, he was granted an Australian Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS) 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 of the Chungbuk National University, South Korea, hosted by Kamran Eshraghian. His PhD was recognized as the best postgraduate research at the School and the University through different prestigious awards and prizes: Postgraduate University Alumni Medal, Gertrude Rohan Memorial Prize, University Doctoral Research Medal and Dean's Commendation for Doctoral Excellence. During his candidature, he received a DR 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 South Korean 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 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 from the ARC Australian Nanotechnology Network.
