Short CV

Since October 2024, I have been working as an Associate Research Scientist at the Deprtment of Physics at Emory Univerity. My research interest lies broadly in the fields of mathematical biology, computational neuroscience, applied partial differential equations, dynamical systems, control theory, and bio-inspired robotics.

Prior to starting my current position at Emory University, I completed a three-year Visiting Assistant Professorship (July 2021 to Auguts 2024) at the School of Mathematics at Georgia Institute of Technology, a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Department of Neurology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Georgetown University, and a Visiting Scholarship at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University.

I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering/Control Systems from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Tehran, Iran, and stayed with the same school for about five years; working at different positions as an instructor, lab manager, and research engineer. I worked for an industrial company for about one year as an automation and instrumentation engineer and a project coordinator, and then moved to the United States for my Ph.D. study. I received my M.Sc. degrees in Aerospace Engineering and Mathematics in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and my Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering/Applied Mathematics in 2018, all from Georgia Tech.

In my spare time, I usually grab a cup of tea, chat with friends, and walk across the campus. If I have more free time, I perhaps read a novel or go for hiking with friends. If I have much more free time, and if I have a peaceful mind, I possibly do some drawing. The combination of these two 'if's has not been satisfied over the last 20 years though! Here are some of my drawings from old days: Drawing 1, Drawing 2.
