Biography

 
I received my B.Sc. in Electrical engineering and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees both in Aerospace Engineering from Sharif University of Technology (SUT) in 2011, 2013, and 2019, respectively. After a postdoctoral fellowship with SUT on the development of resilient learning-based guidance and control systems, I joined the University of Bologna as a postdoctoral researcher, where the main focus of my project was on developing a comprehensive view of intelligent flight control systems. I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace engineering, SUT. My current research interests include resilient flight control systems, learning-based control, reinforcement learning, machine learning, and aerial robotics.
