ABOUT
I am an Undergraduate Research and Teaching Assistant in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at K. N. Toosi University of Technology. I received my B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from K. N. Toosi University of Technology, and I was fortunate to be advised by Dr. Mahkameh Sharbatdar .
My expertise lies in big data analysis and applications in smart mobility systems, traffic safety, and designing machine learning models and implementing them in transportation related problems. Furthermore, I have hands-on experience in analyzing CAV data and crash outcomes. My research areas of interest are, but are not limited to:
- Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
- Traffic Safety and Crash Analysis
- Human Factors (i.e., Driver Attention and Safety, Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS))
- Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs)
- Shared and Automated Mobility System Modeling and Simulation
- Transport Policy
- Travel Behavior Analysis
Teaching is my lifelong passion, and I have been involved in many teaching experiences since graduating from high school, including teaching Fundamental and Advanced Programming courses (C++ and Python) in university TA classes. It is my nature to be ambitious and motivated by a challenge. A forceful and creative personality and a hardworking attitude are my strong points as a student. During my high school years, I became fascinated with the core concepts of computer science and programming, and the first language I learned was Python in the first grade of high school! Furthermore, I participated in the Iranian National Olympiad in Informatics in my second year of high school. I was admitted to the first round as the top 80 talented Iranian students among 9100 participants, which was a fantastic experience for me in that period. Simultaneously, I was studying for the Iran national university entrance exam (KONKUR) and participated in this exam in 2017 and ranked within the top 0.5% among 200,000 participants. During college years, I participated as a team member in the International Collegiate Programming Contest(ICPC) which is the most prestigious programming contest for college students. This contest draws more than 200 teams nationwide each year, and our team ranked among the Top 5% in 2017 and again in 2020.
