about me

I'm a multidisciplinary engineer and researcher with a background in mechanical engineering, robotics, and system dynamics. My work spans a wide range of fields including robotic system design, satellite sensor modeling, biological control systems, and data-driven research in public health.

I earned both my M.Sc. and B.Sc. from Shiraz University in Iran, where I developed a strong foundation in mechanical system design, control theory, and dynamic modeling. Also, I held multiple roles at Medis Startup Studio, overseeing the design, prototyping, and development of more than 10 products. Whether I’m designing a robotic mechanism, modeling immune responses, or analyzing large-scale health data, I approach each challenge with curiosity, precision, and a drive to make meaningful impact.
