I joined the Department of Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University (Fall 2020) as a postdoctoral researcher, under the supervision of Prof. Martin Lindquist.

I earned my Ph.D. degree (2016 - 2020) in the Computational Neuroergonomics track of the Industrial & Systems Engineering program, under the supervision of Prof. Waldemar Karwowski at the University of Central Florida. Also, I was honored to have scientific collaborations with Prof. Pamela K. Douglas and Nichole K. Lighthall during my Ph.D.

My primary research interest is to better understand the brain as a complex system in relation to behavioral performance, as well as how information is integrated across functionally specialized neural units that reside in spatially disparate brain regions. My current work focuses on analyzing connectivity patterns in the human brain using computational models such as graph theory and machine learning, as measured with functional and anatomical neuroimaging methods.

Before my Ph.D., I completed my MSc (2013 - 2016) and BSc (2009 - 2013) degrees in Industrial Engineering and Management Systems at Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), where I had the pleasure of working with Prof. Abass Ahmadi and MH Fazel Zarandi.
