'''Omid Kavehei''' was born in Arak, Iran. From 1999 to 2003, he stayed in his hometown to obtain 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''. <!-- Soon after graduating, he joined the Microelectronics group at Shahid Beheshti University (formerly National University of Iran), Tehran, Iran.--> He obtained his Master’s Degree in Computer Systems Architecture Engineering from Shahid Beheshti University (formerly National University of Iran), 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.
