Soroosh Hemmati received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering with minors in pure mathematics and physics, from the University of Calgary in 2014 and M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California Los Angeles in 2015. He was a member of the Terahertz Electronics Laboratory during his masters studies and conducted research on three-dimensional plasmonic photoconductors for high-efficiency terahertz sources. He was the top student of class of 2014 at the University of Calgary for which he was awarded the APEGA Past Presidents' Gold Medal in Electrical Engineering and featured as a distinguished graduating student on the university website. In addition, he was a recipient of Seymour Schulich Academic Excellence Entrance Scholarship (2010-2013), Louise McKinney Scholarship (2010-2013), NSERC Scholarship for Undergraduate Research (2012), Dean Wirasinghe Scholarship in Engineering (2011), Henry Samueli Fellowship (2015), and was the sole male nominee of University of Calgary for C.D. Howe scholarship (2011). He competed in numerous mathematics and physics Olympiad competitions in Canada, in which he scored consistently among the top three in the province of Alberta, and top ten nationally, in AHSMC, COMC, CMO, USAMO, APMO, and CAP exam, and was therefore selected as a finalist for both the mathematics and physics international Olympiad teams of Canada (2010). He is currently a Ph.D. student at Stanford University.
