About me

I am currently a fourth year PhD student at Stanford University Electrical Engineering department. I am very fortunate to be advised by Professor Mary Wootters. Previously I was at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, where I had the great pleasure to work with Professor Marco Mondelli. I was computer science undergraduate student at the Sharif University of Technology. There I worked on Combinatorial aspects of Index Coding under the supervision of Professor Javad Ebrahimi.


I am generally curious about intersection of computation, privacy and fault resilience. My main areas of interest include,

  • Interactive Communication
  • Distributed Computing
  • Information Theory and Coding Theory

Previously I have worked on,

  • Reed-Muller Codes and Polar Codes (ISTA)
  • Embedded System and Fault Protection (RUB)
  • Index Coding (SUT)
  • Dominating Sets of Graphs. (SUT)

In the non-academic side of life I enjoy photography and experimenting with making coffee. Let me know if you know of an interesting café in bay area ;)
