Mohammad Samad
Phoenix,AZ
Summary
I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe. I conduct research under Tracee Jamison-Hooks. During my capstone project, I worked on the design and implementation of a polyphase filter bank on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). I am continuing this work by deploying our designs on a Xilinx RFSoC FPGA.
