Pedram Mohammadi

I am currently working as a Senior Video Quality Engineer at NETINT Technologies Inc., where I focus on developing innovative algorithms to enhance the visual quality of NETINT's next-generation Video Processing Units (VPUs). My work encompasses a broad spectrum of image/video processing, and I am well-versed in areas such as video encoding algorithms for various codecs, including AVC, HEVC, and AV1. This diverse expertise allows me to contribute to delivering superior visual quality and enables me to tackle a wide range of challenges in the video technology industry.

Prior to joining NETINT, I worked as a Senior Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) consultant at KPMG LLP to support businesses in their pursuit of innovation. This role required a deep understanding of both the technical intricacies and the financial implications of R&D projects. I gained valuable skills in project management, client collaboration, and strategic planning, all of which have enriched my professional toolkit.

I received my PhD from The University of British Columbia in Electrical and Computer Engineering. During this time, I was part of the Digital Multimedia Lab (DML) and conducted research in the field of High Dynamic Range (HDR) video processing. My work during this time resulted in patented techniques that have been successfully implemented in the industry, bridging the gap between academic research and real-world applications.

I completed my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering - Communication Systems at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. My work during this time was focused on understanding the Human Visual System's (HVS) behavior and how it perceives visual quality to help develop an objective video quality evaluation metric.

I am deeply passionate about algorithm development in the field of image and video processing, with a keen interest in exploring the entire lifecycle from research and inception of the idea to product development. I thrive on the challenge of pioneering new solutions and am committed to contributing to advancements that shape the future.

I'm always open to connect with like-minded individuals and learn from their experiences and explore possible collaborations. If you’d like to chat, feel free to send me an email or connect with me on LinkedIn.
