Research Areas

I'm a graduate student of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University, and my BSc studies were accomplished at the University of Tehran similarly in ECE majoring in Telecommunication Systems. I'm interested in Wireless Communications, Communication Networks and security, Software-defined Radios, High-level Synthesis, Programming, and Antenna Design. Currently, I'm researching a software-based massive MIMO platform at the Rice Wireless Research Group.
