I am currently an Instructor in Mathematics at the Brandeis University. Previously I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester and finished my PhD in 2022 at Georgia Tech and under the supervision of Prof. John Etnyre. Prior to these, I received my MS (in Pure Mathematics) and BS (in Electrical Engineering) degrees from the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran, which is where I was born and raised.
My research interests lie in the interplay of geometry, dynamics and topology. More specifically, I am interested in contact and symplectic topology, hyperbolic dynamics and Anosov systems, Reeb flows and geometric analysis of contact manifolds.
Here is my CV.
