Currently looking for Graduate Research Positions in Robotics!

I'm pursuing my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering at Sharif University of Technology, where I also work as an undergraduate research assistant in the Social & Cognitive Robotics Lab under Prof. Alireza Taheri's supervision. Additionally, I have experience as a teaching assistant in various robotics and engineering courses. My skills include Python, MATLAB, C++, Simulink, and SolidWorks, among others.

Outside academia, I have practical experience in CNC machine maintenance from my internship at ITMCO and a certified background in jewelry manufacturing. Also, I used to play badminton professionally in the state's team. My hobbies are playing football (soccer), listening to music, and enjoying my never-existing free time.

Projects

The project involves designing a control system for the ball and beam setup. The control objective is to accurately stabilize the ball at the center of the beam. Huge shout out to my friend and teammate in this project, Erfan Radfar.

In this project, I developed a simple activity recognition system using a hat fitted with sensors. The hat can recognize walking and running.

The goal of this project was to identify early biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and related brain disorders through analysis of EEG signals during olfactory stimulation.
