About Me
I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran, in 2022. Subsequently, I completed my Master's degree in the same discipline at Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic). During my master's program, I was affiliated with the Laboratory for Design and Analysis of Dependable Systems (DADS), under the supervision of Dr. Hamid Reza Zarandi and Dr. Elham Cheshmikhani.
Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology. I work as a Research Assistant in the Embedded Systems Research Laboratory (ESRLab), guided by Dr. Alireza Ejlali.
