Biography: I received my B.Sc. Degree in Electrical Engineering from The University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, in 2000 and the M.Sc. Degree in Electrical Engineering from Amir-Kabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2002. In 2007, I received my Ph.D. Degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, Monash University, Victoria, Australia.

I am currently working at Vicroads on performance evaluation of a new freeway management system for Melbourne.
