Imagining the Unseen
An interview with Khosrow Lashkari Ph.D.


Soft-spoken and perceptive, Khosrow Lashkari’s early years in Tehran sharpened his natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge. From constructing small radios and traveling for an hour to get to the closest library, he realized two things that have shaped his intellectual and professional life: there is a very real world hidden from our senses that we can tap into and manipulate, and that information of all forms is precious.
His experience with the unseen world of radio waves developed into a fascination for math and the real-world phenomena that abstract equations could define and predict. This expanded into a career focused on identifying advanced communications tools and techniques.
One of his primary roles at DoCoMo USA Labs is to use his vast experience to identify those challenges best-suited to helping DoCoMo USA Labs reach its goal of ubiquitous 4G communications by 2010 – a goal which coincides squarely with his personal vision.

Nevertheless, in that early computer experience, He discovered the joy of programming – a passion that has never left him. Now he’s a research engineer at DoCoMo USA Labs, focusing on sophisticated networking and communications challenges.
