I am a second year PhD student in the Electrical Engineering Department at .University of Southern California. My advisers are Alex Dimakis and Andreas Molisch.

Research Interest
I am interested in communications, signal processing and networking. In particular, I'm interested in combinatorial problems, and network optimization.

Brief Bio
I received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Since January. 2011, I have worked toward the Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electrical and Engineering, University of Southern California, Los Angeles. Previously, I worked on wireless communications, cognitive radio, and cooperative communication. My current focus is on video aware wireless networks and distributed caching.
