## Biography

Jabedar was born in Tabriz in 1941. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering From Tehran University (1959-1963), his M.S. degree in Electrical And Computer Engineering from University of California, Berkeley (1965-1966), and his PhD degree in Electrical And Computer Engineering, from University of California, Berkeley (1966-1969). He joined the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Tehran in 1970 where he became distinguished professor later and emeritus professor. Besides his research work, he has contributed significantly to the engineering education of electrical engineering in Iran. Many of prominent Iranian electrical engineers and professors have been his students or students of his students, including the late Caro Lucas, Babak Araabi.
