About

I am an assistant professor of Computer Sciencef Computer Science at the at York University, where I am a member of the Theory of Computing Group. I am also an adjunct professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba, where I am a member of the GADA lab. Before joining York University in July 2022, I was an assistant professor at the University of Manitoba. Previous to that, I was a postdoctoral associate as well as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow at CSAIL lab in MIT, where my adviser was Dr. Charles Leiserson. I completed my PhD in Algorithm & Complexity Group in the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo in Summer 2014.  I completed my M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees at Concordia University and the University of Tehran, respectively.


Research

I have a broad interest in the design, analysis, and limitations of algorithms. I am particularly interested in online problems such as bin packing, paging, list update, and k-Server. My research also spans big-data applications of algorithms in data compression, graph partitioning, and resource allocation in cloud. I am also interested in graph algorithms and algorithmic aspects of blockchain technology.
