Brief Bio:
I am a Ph.D. student at the Division of Decision and Control Systems (DCS) of KTH Royal Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Dimos V. Dimarogonas. Previously, I was a research assistant at INMA, ICTEAM, UCLouvain in Belgium under an FRIA / FNRS fellowship. I got my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering (Control Systems) from the University of Tabriz, Iran.
