Siamak Ebadi received a B.S. degree from K. N. Toosi University of Technology (KNTU) in 2003 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Tarbiat Modares University (TMU), Tehran, Iran, in 2005 and 2009, respectively, all in electrical engineering. 

In Sept. 2019, Siamak founded Farcast (formerly UTVATE)  to address some of the most challenging problems the satellite industry is facing.

Before UTVATE, Siamak was with Astranis, where he built and led the RF team. Before joining Astranis, he was with SpaceX's satellite program (Starlink) in Seattle as a Sr. Antenna Engineer. Prior to joining SpaceX, he was with Ossia Inc. as the Lead RF Engineer developing Wireless Power Transmission systems. Prior to joining Ossia, he was with the Metamaterials Commercialization Center (MCC) at Intellectual Ventures (IV)  from 2012 to 2015, performing research and development on new applications of Metamaterials in RF, Electromagnetics, and Antennas. 

From 2010 to 2012, he was with the Antennas, RF, and Microwave Integrated Systems (ARMI) laboratory at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), University of Central Florida (UCF)  as a postdoctoral research associate, where he conducted research on wireless high-temperature sensors and reconfigurable phased array and reflectarray antennas. In 2008, he was involved in the European Commission's Agile Reflectarray Antennas for Security and Communications (ARASCOM) project designing reconfigurable reflectarray antennas as a researcher at the University of Perugia, Italy. 

Siamak is a Senior member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation (AP) and Microwave Theory and Technique (MTT) societies. He was the chair for the AP/MTT/ED chapter in Seattle and held the chair position for the AP/MTT chapter in Orlando, Florida. He has been a reviewer for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWPL), IEEE Transactions on Antennas & Propagation (TAP), IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Magazine, IEEE Transaction on Microwave Theory and Techniques (TMTT), IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, and Elsevier International Journal of Electronics and Communications. He has been on the steering committee of the IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference (Wamicon) 2012, the IEEE APS/URSI 2013 conference, and the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2014.
