Kaveh Pahlavan (

Body Area Networking.[9]

He has contributed to numerous technical publications and holds a number of patents in these areas.[10] His current area of research[when?] is opportunistic application of RF signals from wireless devices for gesture and motion detection as well as authentication and security.[11]

Education and career

Pahlavan received his BS/MS degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tehran in 1975, and his PhD degree from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Massachusetts in 1979.

He began his academic career as an assistant professor at the

wireless local area networks (WLAN), commercially known as Wi-Fi (1985).[12] He has been a visiting professor at the University of Oulu, Finland (1995-2007), where he also spent his sabbatical leave in 1999. He has spent his other sabbatical leaves at Olin College and Harvard University
in 2004 and 2011 respectively.

He was the chief technical adviser of Skyhook Wireless in Boston between 2004 and 2014. WINDATA was one of the pioneers in design of WLAN and Skyhook is the pioneer of Wi-Fi positioning systems. Pahlavan has also acted as a consultant to many firms in the wireless industry, including Nokia, Apple, DEC, Honeywell, Electrobit, JPL and NTT. He also led the US team for review of the National R&D Programs, sponsored by the Finnish Academy and TEKES (2000, 2003).[13]

He was elected as a fellow of the

National Research Council (1997),[15] was the first Fulbright-Nokia scholar (2000), and was awarded the WPI's Board of Trustees' Outstanding Research and Creative Scholarship Award (2011).[16]

Pahlavan is the founding editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Wireless Information Networks, a member of the advisory board of IEEE Wireless Communications.[17]

Books

Pahlavan has co-authored several books[18] including:

Personal life

As a student in Iran, Pahlavan played in the University of Tehran Volleyball Team, which won two Iranian National Volleyball College Championships in 1971 and 1972.[19] In 1973, sponsored by the University of Tehran, he participated in the Summer Universiade in Moscow, where his team lost every match except those played against Soviet Union female Volleyball team. He also played for Peykan/Shahbaz Volleyball Club (1969–72), and was invited to the Iranian National Volleyball Team in 1972. In the United States he received an award in Argentine Tango Dancing with his wife (2011–present).[20][21][22]

Pahlavan studies history, philosophy, and Persian poetry. In 2011, he managed the English translation of Behrouz Gharibpour's musical, Puppet Opera of Rumi.[23]
