I am a Software Engineer working on the Verification and Validation of Autonomous Vehicles with a focus on Control Systems at NVIDIA. I obtained a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California in 2022, where I was advised by Mihailo R. Jovanovic. Prior to that, I obtained a Master’s degree from Arizona State University in 2017 and a Bachelor’s degree from Sharif University of Technology in 2015 both in Mechanical Engineering.

My PhD research was focused on quantifying the performance and robustness of gradient based optimization algorithms for data-driven control and decision making.
