SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
 
Dr. Mahdavi has spent ten years working as research scientist as well as research and development manager in different labs in Italy. This has helped him to maintain contacts with front-line interdisciplinary research and the following technologies:
 
* Micro-semiconductor
The structure of (active, passive, odd-form and interconnect) microelectronic and opto-electronic devices; Radiation hardened microelectronic components in the satellite, spacecraft and space electronic manufacturing technologies.

* Electronic Manufacturing
SMT (Design for Manufacture, Process Control, Solder Materials, Printing, Adhesives and Dispensing, Component Placement and Soldering) and SMT line machineries (printer, turret-style chip-shooter, pick-and-place and vision systems); Electro-luminescent technologies, particularly EL displays and their application in wireless systems and portable multifunction equipments.

* Vision Technology
Application of machine visions for industrial inspection (particularly, advanced AOI and XRV Vision/X-ray inspection machines for defect detection and statistical analysis in the SMT line), medical images as well as remote sensing.

* Test and Measurement
The structure and function of basic and specialized test instruments (counters, timers, power supplies, logic analyzers, meters, analog and digital oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and signal generators); Test and handling of micro-electronic chips; In-circuit test equipments; Protocol-independent test strategy for wireless (GSM, CDMA and TDMA) technologies; In-process functional test of basic parameters (power, frequency, phase and voltage) of RF-component in wireless technologies for OEMs/CEMs with mass production; The strategy of automation and industrial standardization for defect prevention and process improvement for boosting yield; Tribological tests (scanning electron microscopy, micro-photography, topography and image processing).

* Nuclear technologies
Basis of nuclear technology in nuclear fission and fusion reactions; “Nuclear data” (constants, structures, decays and reactions); Uranium enrichment, gaseous diffusion, centrifuge process, and laser enrichment processes in the third-generation nuclear technology; Radiation technology and radiation dosimetry in crystals, semiconductors and electronic components (applied in satellite and spacecraft industries).

* Metrology and Calibration
Test equipment management, non-contact metrology system and calibration program requirements; calibration laboratories utilizing intrinsic standards and recalibration interval; electro-optical metrology equipment and spectroscopy; and metrology data (calibration procedures, technical manuals for test and inspection equipment, engineering information on calibration laboratories).

* Synthetic Fiber
Covered synthetic fiber processing (core breaks, failure phenomena, dynamics of hollow spindles, air circulation and balloon formation in synthetic and natural yarn processing).
