Academic Research

During my PhD studies, my research primarily focused on the field of computer science, with a particular emphasis on managing data in edge systems. I strived to establish guidelines that navigate the trade-offs between hardware and software for the next generation of these systems. To effectively address the unique constraints presented by edge systems, my work involved the development of innovative machine learning techniques and the exploitation of hardware-software synergy.

Teaching

My teaching journey began in high school, where seniors passed on knowledge for the astronomy Olympiad, covering integrals, advanced calculus, differential equations, astrophysics, cosmology, thermodynamics, and much of the undergraduate physics curriculum.

During my undergraduate studies in electrical engineering, I served as TA for 12 courses, mainly in computer architecture. In my senior year, I managed the Microprocessor Systems Laboratory at Sharif, the only resource available to undergraduates for Altera and Xilinx FPGA boards, MCUs, and processors faster than 8051.

While pursuing my PhD at Georgia Tech, I served as TA for 3 courses and as primary instructor for 2 consecutive summers for an advanced senior-level course in computer architecture. The websites for these courses are listed below.

Undergraduate Research

I enjoyed working closely with more then 40 of our talented undergraduate students during my PhD. Together, we achieved significant milestones and our collaborative efforts resulted in several publications. You can find the main website here, HPArch Undergraduate Research, although please note that it is no longer actively maintained. Feel free to explore the exciting final demos from our one or two semesters of hard work: [SysML’19] [FPL’19] [Summer’19] [Spring’20-1] [Spring’20-2]
