Leyla Nazhandali  Leyla Nazhandali received her B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran, in 2000 as an honor student. She, then, joined Advanced Computer Architecture Laboratory (ACAL) at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she pursued her graduate studies in Computer Engineering, receiving her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 2002 and 2006, respectively. She is currently an assistant professor in the Bradley department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech.
Dr. Nazhandali is the recipient of the prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER award in 2008 for her proposed work entitled, “Overcoming Power Challenges in Embedded System Design with Subthreshold-Voltage Technology.” Among her other awards, she received a Riethmiller Fellowship Award for 2005-2006 to conduct research with applications in biomedicine. In 2005, she won the 1st place in Computer Science and Engineering Honors competition at the University of Michigan. In 1996, she was ranked 44th in Iran’s National College Entrance Exam in a field of more than 150,000 applicants.
Her research interests are in low-power energy-constrained embedded system design, subthreshold-voltage architectures, secure embedded hardware design and engineering education focusing on attraction and retention of underrepresented groups in Computer Engineering.
