I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Computer Science of Brown University working under the supervision of Eli Upfal. I am interested in Graphs/Data mining, and the theory of Machine Learning. Previously, I have done some work in studying cancer evolution under supervision of Ben Raphael.
I did my undergraduate studies in mathematics at Sharif University of Technology. Graph Theory, Combinatrics and Linear Algebra were my favorites. During my Masters in mathematics at Simon Fraser University I became interested in the field of Computational Biology and worked under the supervision of Cedric Chauve and Ladislave Stacho. (My master thesis).
