Yasamin got her B.S. degree in electrical engineering Young Researcher Prize, IEEE
from Sharif University of Technology and her M.S. Fellow, National Science
and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Foundation CAREER Award
Stanford University in 1999 and 2004 respectively. She Scientific career
is a major contributor to two research areas:
Fields Electrical engineering
RF Sensing, such as sensing and learning Institutions University of California, Santa
about the environment with WiFi signals. In Barbara
2009, Yasamin Showed it possible to image

details of objects with WiFi signals.[3] Since
then her work has contributed to this area by ps://web.ece.ucsb.edu/~ymostofi/)
showing how WiFi signals can be used for
different through-wall sensing applications, such as occupancy analytics,[4] person
identification,[5] activity recognition,[6] localization/tracking[7] and 3D Xray vision for
drones.[8]
Communication-Aware, Path Planning, and Control[9]
Yasamin’s early work in these two areas won her the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and
Engineer (PECASE) from President Obama in 2011.[10][11][12]
