ABOUT ME
I received my B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, in 2012, 2014, and 2020, respectively. My background experiences are in Bio-mechanics and -mechatronics, specializing in Robotics and Control engineering, as well as Clinical patient study, and Movement Disorders in neurological diseases (particularly Parkinson’s diseases). I joined the NCBLab in 2025 as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Dr. Hossein Rouhani, during which I am working on the brain-computer-interface (BCI) program for children with motor impairments, at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, Imagination Center.
