Ahmad Byagowi

Research Scientist

Ahmad Byagowi is a Research Scientist focused on Time and Frequency Synchronization in Hyper Scale Networks. Ahmad received his first Ph.D. (Dr. Techn.) from Vienna University of Technology (TUWIEN) under the supervision of Prof. Peter Kopacek working on distributed control systems in 2010. Following that, Byagowi went to the University of Manitoba, initially as a Post Doc fellow working with Prof. Zahra Moussavi working on game engines and virtual reality systems. Due to his interest in the project, Byagowi started a second Ph.D. and finished it in 2016. After that, Byagowi started working with Prof. Ramesh Raskar from the MIT Media Labs on haptic systems. This led him to Facebook as a visiting scholar. He was impressed by the research there and decided to join Facebook in 2017. Byagowi still holds an Adjunct Professor title with the University of Manitoba.
