Welcome to my personal website!

I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University under supervision of Dr. Fatemeh Afghah. I was a research assistant in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at University of Colorado Colorado Springs from Jan. 2021 to Aug 2022. I received my M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran and the Iran university of Science and Technology, respectively.

Research Interests

  1. 5G, 6G
  2. Wireless Communications
  3. AI/ ML in Wireless Networks
  4. Reinforcement Learning approach over Wireless Networks
