Azad Naeemi is a Dean’s professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. 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 served as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal on Exploratory Computational Devices and Circuits (JXCDC) from 2020 to 2025 and is the Associate Director for Computation for the NSF-supported National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI). Porf. Naeemi is the lead PI of an NSF-funded 6- university collaborative effort on Interactive Visualizations and Simulations for Conceptual Understanding in Quantum and Semiconductor Physics. He is a recipient of the 2024 Intel Outstanding Researcher Award, IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Paul Rappaport Award, the Inaugural IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) James Meindl Innovators Award, an NSF CAREER Award, Erasmus Mundus Scholarship in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology awarded by the European Commission, an SRC Inventor Recognition Award, and several best paper awards from international conferences. In 2023, he received the Faculty Honors Class of 1934 Outstanding Innovative Use of Educational Technology Award at Georgia Tech and W. Marshall Leach/Eta Kappa Nu Outstanding Senior Teacher Award in the School of ECE (selected by the direct vote of the ECE senior class).
