I am Ahmad Rahmati (احمد رحمتی in Persian script), a Computer Engineering Ph.D. Student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University.

I am working with Professor Lin Zhong in the Efficient Computing Group, ECG, focusing on the challenges of energy-efficient and user-friendly mobile systems and applications.

I received my B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in 2004. I was a research intern with AT&T Labs Research in the summer of 2006.
