I was born on Jan 28, 1995, in Tabriz, the capital city of East Azerbaijan province, Iran. I finished my high school in Mathematics and Physics at the Shahid Madani high school, a member of the National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents (NODET).
I studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tabriz for my bachelor's. I took courses related to Solid Mechanics, Dynamics, Control, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning), Turbomachinery, Hydraulics and Pneumatics, etc.. I worked on the image analysis of pool boiling in a porous medium for my bachelor's project. I learned to work with CAD software such as CATIA and Solidworks, solid and fluid numerical analysis software such as ANSYS Fluent and COMSOL, programming languages like C, C++, and Python, as well as engineering software such as MATLAB.
I studied my master's in Mechanical Engineering at Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey. I received a full scholarship from TUBITAK for my studies, and later received a research fellowship from the KUIS AI Center. In my M.Sc. thesis, I used Machine Learning (ML) to estimate human intent by predicting the current and the next subtask of a complex contact-rich pHRI task in a manufacturing environment. I thereby minimized human effort while maintaining efficiency and stability. I took courses on Machine Learning, MEMS, Computer Graphics, Robotics, Computer-Aided Modeling and Simulation, etc. I served as a Teaching Assistant (TA) in courses such as Robotics, Computer-Based Modeling and Simulation, and B.Sc. Final Year Project. I also received an Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award for my efforts. I worked intimately and physically with a KUKA LBR iiwa 7 arm in my master's, facilitated with force sensors, a Microsoft HoloLens AR goggle, and a drill bit. I also partook in research related to robot-assisted 6D collaborative drilling on curved surfaces, where I used a Kinect 1 for 3D scanning and registration of a curved wooden surface, for a fast and efficient batch drilling process with the help of human operators. I also partook in research in which I trained ML/DL models for predicting human muscle fatigue based on minimal information from sEMG sensors on the lateral and anterior deltoids.
Currently, I am studying as a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. I am a member of the Intelligent and Interactive Systems (IIS) research group. My current research is about Task And Motion Planning (TAMP), and involves using symbolic abstractions of inter-object affordances that represent physical interaction constraints, in contact-rich robotic tasks that take place in real environments with real objects. I am also a co-instructor in undergraduate and master's courses such as Machine Learning and Robotics.
In my free time, I play computer games, spend time on self-development and learning, train AI models for personal use, write amateur programs with different languages, build miniature robots, go hiking, and watch film commentary on social media.
