About me

I pursued my Ph.D. in Electrical and Information Engineering under the supervision of Professor Abbas Jamalipour at the Wireless Networking Group (WiNG), The University of Sydney (March 2018 - December 2021). My research focused on providing different quality of service (QoS) requirements such as energy efficiency, delay, and throughput in edge computing-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) networks. I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California Davis (UCD). I joined the Computer Networks Lab in Feb 2023, under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Biswanath Mukherjee. My work encompasses two hot topics in optical networks: One aims to improve the Qulaity of Experience (QoE) and the Quality of Transmission (QoT) of Multi-Band Elastic Optical Networks (MB-EONs); and the other investigates novel ideas on survivabilty of optical networks in the presence of a third-party entity. Before starting my postdoctoral position at UCD, I did a one-year (Feb 2022 - Jan 2023) postdoctoral postion in the Intelligent and Autonomous Systems Lab (IASL) at the University of California Irvine (UCI), under the supervision of Professor Marco Levorato. My research topic focused on optimally managing the resources in the collaborative mobile-to-edge computing system using efficient deep Q-learning (DQL)-based classification methods.

My favorite quote which always motivates and inspires me:

"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." (Rumi)
