ABOUT ME
I am a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta. I focus my doctoral research on developing BCI-controlled wearable robots for children with disabilities, in collaboration with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. I earned my M.Sc. degree in Mechatronic Engineering from the Electrical Department at K.N. Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2019, and my B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering with a major in Control from Shahed University, Tehran, Iran, in 2015.
I have participated in many robotics competitions (RoboCup Worldwide, RoboCup Asia-Pacific, RoboCup Iran Open International Competitions) across different fields. Since my B.Sc. studies, I have worked with the "Omid Robotics Team" in the Small-Sized Soccer League and joined the "Unbounded Designers" team in the Humanoid League. I conducted robotics research in the ARAS Research Group and the Center of Excellence in Robotics and Control at the Mechanical Engineering Department of K.N. Toosi University of Technology, where I designed and fabricated a lower-limb walking assistance robot.
I gained research experience in surgical robotics at Sina Robotics and Medical Innovators Co., LTD. Recently, I have focused on developing new algorithms for the control and motion planning of continuum robots at the Advanced Robotics and Automated Systems (ARAS) Lab at K.N. Toosi University of Technology. In my research, I have developed algorithms that are more efficient and data-efficient than traditional methods. I have applied these algorithms to the development of surgical robots and the automation of surgical procedures.
