Education and career

Yasamin got her B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1999 and 2004 respectively. She is a major contributor to two research areas:

  • RF Sensing, such as sensing and learning about the environment with WiFi signals. In 2009, Yasamin Showed it possible to image details of objects with WiFi signals.[3] Since then her work has contributed to this area by 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]

Selected honors/awards

Mostofi’s accomplishments are highlighted in the book “Daughters of Persia, Pioneering Women of the World”[17] by Mansoureh Pirnia, which is a historic account of high-impact Iranian women throughout history.

Selected news appearances

Sample press coverage of her research lab includes BBC Digital Planet 2019,[18] TechCrunch 2018,[19] BBC 2017,[20] Engadget 2017,[21] Huffington Post UK 2015,[22] BBC 2014,[23] Engadget 2014,[24] among others.
