The IEEE Ethics and Member Conduct Committee (EMCC) received complaints through its Ethics Reporting Line against Mr. Mojtaba Sharif Zadeh [also known as Sharif Zadeh], a member of the IEEE.
Following an EMCC investigation, a hearing board appointed by the IEEE Board of Directors found cause that Mr. Zadeh violated Section I and Section II, Subsection 8 of the IEEE Code of Ethics, and Section 4 and Section 5e of the IEEE Code of Conduct.
The IEEE Board of Directors sustained these findings and imposed the sanction of Expulsion from IEEE membership on Mr. Zadeh, in accordance with IEEE Bylaw I-110.5. The IEEE Board of Directors also determined that this notification to the IEEE membership should be made.
