I am a PhD student in
Autonomous Network Research Group,
Electrical Engineering Department at
University of Southern California. I'm interested in Stochastic Network Optimization, Online Learning Algorithms and wireless communication. My advisor is Professor Bhaskar Krishnamachari.
I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology (SUT), Tehran, Iran, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. As my master thesis, I worked on wireless communications, coding theory and cooperative communication.
