About Me

I am a Computer Engineer specializing in computer architecture and AI. In my recent work at Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy, I focus on developing real-time Edge AI solutions for medical monitoring and IoT-based digital healthcare systems, this can enhance latency, security, and scalability across distributed architectures. Originally from Iran, I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering.

With a decade of experience bridging computer architecture and AI, I merge hardware-level expertise with modern AI deployment skills. I am passionate about building efficient, practical intelligent systems that operate directly on smart devices, translating cutting-edge research into real-world impact accessible to everyone.

Outside of research, I enjoy exploring new cultures, listening to music, cooking, and reading, with a particular interest in historical and philosophical literature, always seeking fresh perspectives and insights.
