Welcome!

I'm an AI/ML Research Scientist at Apple, having joined in 2024. Previously, I was a Senior Researcher on Microsoft's Azure Cloud & AI team. During my tenure at Microsoft, my work was primarily focused on resource-optimized deep learning, design and analysis of efficient machine learning algorithms, and data science for emerging computing platforms. My industry experience also includes a Research Internship at Baidu USA's Cognitive Computing Lab in early 2019.

I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester in 2020, where I primarily worked on graph-based machine learning and data processing. My thesis can be found here: "Learning Representations for Signal and Data Processing on Directed Graphs". I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the Sharif University of Technology in 2015.
