I am a PhD candidate at the University of Waterloo, in the Department of Systems Design Engineering and a Research Assistant at the Motion Research Group. I completed my MSc in Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Tehran, where I also spent three years as a graduate researcher at the Human and Robot Interaction Laboratory (known as TaarLab for its Persian abbreviation).

In general, I enjoy working on problems related to robotics and biomechatronics, especially when they involve system modeling, control design, and programming.

My research interests are:

  • Modeling and Simulation of Multibody Systems

  • Kinematic and Dynamic Modeling

  • Mechanism Design

  • Parallel Robots

  • Screw Theory

  • Control Design
