I am a Ph.D. Student in the Communication Sciences Institute at University of Southern California. My adviser is Prof. Giuseppe Caire. I obtained a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in June 2001 and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from University of Southern California in May 2006.

My research interests are information theory, communication theory and applications of signal processing in communication.
