I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Emory University.
My research interest is Information Retrieval, and I am pleased to work with Prof. Eugene Agichtein. Before this, I was a research assistant at the University of Tehran, and worked under the supervision of Prof. Farhad Oroumchian.

Activities
Experience (A nice video about A players: link)
- I have been software engineer and programmer for roughly a decade in my home country, Iran. I had chance to work on variety of projects ranging from web-based Learning Management Systems to highway speed cameras. I have been also in a couple of industry funded research projects such as search engine evaluation, automatic web filtering, and designing domain specific database query languages.
