My research lies at the intersection of statistical inference, applied algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and algebraic statistics. I develop causal discovery methods in both temporal and non-temporal settings, and study parametric and non-parametric density estimation problems under various structural constraints. In addition to more conventional tools, I draw on tools from algebraic geometry, multilinear and nonlinear algebra, and rough path theory to approach these problems.

From September 2022 to August 2026, I was a PhD student in the Mathematics Department at the University of British Columbia (UBC), where I was advised by Dr. Elina Robeva. In April 2024, I became a Vanier Scholar, and my research was supported by the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship from May 2024 to August 2026. I was also a recipient of the British Columbia Graduate Scholarship and the Lorraine Schwartz Prize in Statistics and Probability during my PhD studies. Here is a link to my PhD dissertation. 

Before beginning my PhD, I was fortunate to work with Dr. Robeva as a MSc student at UBC from September 2020 to August 2022. Here is a link to my master's thesis.

Prior to joining UBC, I received a BSc in Mathematics from Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), Isfahan, Iran, where I was a student from September 2016 to July 2020.
