Massoud Alibakhsh
Founder, President & CEO
Massoud has spent the last 19 years in the software technology and health care information management industries. He developed his current vision for Nuesoft while pursuing graduate studies at Georgia Institute of Technology and working full time at a parallel computing research lab at the Institute.
In 1993, he founded Nuesoft Technologies Inc. at the Advanced Technology and Development Center (ATDC). During his career, Massoud has held various positions as president, lead designer/architect and development manager. In 1988, he founded Interactive Communications System to develop software applications for remote computing. The company was profitable when sold one year later. He has also consulted and developed software applications for organizations such as Microsoft, ACOG (Atlanta Committee for Olympic Games), Wells Fargo Bank and IBM.
Massoud’s management philosophy is based on his belief in people and empowerment of both employees and clients. He has an in-depth understanding of technology and its role in affecting people’s lives, as well as the business environment.
He received a BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Southern Technical Institute in 1982.
Shahram Famorzadeh, Ph.D.
Chief Technology Officer
Dr. Famorzadeh comes to Nuesoft from Conexant Systems Inc., a semiconductor spin off from Rockwell International. As a lead System Architect on DSL technology, he helped Conexant to develop the first DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) and the client ADSL solution.
Famorzadeh worked as a systems design engineer with Schlumberger Industries and as a full-time research engineer with the Center for Signal and Image Processing at Georgia Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology. His work there included projects sponsored by the Advanced Technology Laboratories of Lockheed Martin, the Naval Research Laboratory in Maryland and the Department of Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). As part of his doctoral thesis, Dr. Famorzadeh created a distributed software environment and architecture for developing signal processing applications over the Internet. Dr. Famorzadeh has published 13 articles in various journals and has filed three patents for DSL-related technology.
Dr. Famorzadeh received a B.S.E.E. degree from the University of Tennessee in 1989 and an M.S.E.E. degree and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1990 and 1997 respectively.
