Biography:

Dr. Zahra Ghattan Kashani received the B.Sc., M.Sc., and the Ph.D. Degrees from the University of Tehran, Iran, all in electrical engineering in 2001, 2003, and 2009. From 2011 to 2013, she was with Iran Telecommunication Research Center, Tehran, Iran, working on high-frequency circuits. Since 2014, she has been an Assistant Professor with the Electrical Engineering Department, K. N. Toosi University of Technology (KNTU), Tehran, Iran. Her primary research interests include computational electromagnetics for mm-wave/THz engineering and photonics.
