I’m a Teaching Fellow and PhD Student (submitting thesis) at QMUL EECS, advised by Gianni Antichi . I’m also working with Brent Stephens at Utah/Google. My interests center around computer systems at data centers. Before starting PhD, I was a Research Associate at NUS advised by Djordje Jevdjic, working on memory management for data center applications. I also spent 3 months studying the feasibility of using virtualization to increase the availability of electrical grid controllers advised by Jean-Yves Le Boudec at EPFL.

I did my undergraduate and master’s at IUST in Iran, working with Mohsen Sharifi, where I spent two years as a Research Associate. I think his lab is one of the best places in Iran to get to know about systems research and learn to see the world from Computer Systems lens.
