Innovator at the Intersection of AI, IoT, and Human-Centered Technology

I am a PhD researcher in Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, driven by the challenge of integrating signal processing, machine learning, and human-centered AI systems. My work focuses on Human Activity Recognition, wearable devices, and designing teachable AI interfaces—empowering non-experts to adapt models to their needs with ease. With a multi-faceted engineering background, I began my career exploring robotics, later expanding into embedded systems, communications, IoT, and machine learning. This interdisciplinary approach allows me to bridge disciplines, translating complex technical challenges into impactful, real-world solutions.

I hold an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology (2015) and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering (Communications) from the University of Tehran (2013).

My career has been defined by a commitment to never settling—continuously expanding my expertise to craft cutting-edge solutions across multiple domains. I believe innovation happens where disciplines converge, and I embrace that uniqueness in my work.
