About me


I am currently in my fourth year pursuing a Ph.D. in the Algorithm Group within the Department of Informatics at the University of Bergen in Norway. Prior to this, I obtained my Master's degree from Sharif University of Technology in Iran. My research primarily revolves around parameterized algorithms, automated theorem proving, and model checking. Currently, I hold a lecturer position at the Informatics Department and a Research Assistant position at MediaFutures.
