Welcome to my personal website!

I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech under supervision of Walid Saad, since 2021. I received my B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Amirkabir University of Technology, Iran in 2012, my M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Sharif University of Technology, Iran in 2014, and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran, Iran in 2020.

Research Interests

1. Wireless Communications
2. Semantic Communication and Reasoning
3. Machine Learning
4. Network Softwarization
