About Me

I am an incoming software engineer at Amplitude. I have completed my Ph.D. at Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of NYU Tandon School of Engineering in May 2019. During my Ph.D. at NYU, I worked in High Speed Networks Lab under the supervision of professors Jonathan Chao and Yang Xu. My research interests include Software Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization, and Distributed Systems.

Prior to joining NYU, I received my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. During my undergraduate studies, I worked at Microprocessor Systems Lab under the supervision of professor Mahdi Shabany.
