About Me
I am a postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. Before that I was a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, where I was fortunate to have Nisarg Shah and Allan Borodin as my supervisors. Before that, I completed my undergraduate and master's studies in the Department of Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology, where I had the honor to be advised by Mohammad Ghodsi.
Research Interests
My research lies at the intersection of theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and economics, with a focus on algorithms and computational complexity. My primary interests include computational social choice, fair division, algorithmic game theory, and mechanism design.
