ABOUT ME

I was born in Shiraz which is known as the city of poets, literature, wine, and
flowers. I received my B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from Shiraz
University, Shiraz, Iran, in 2011, and my M.Sc. degree in Computer Architecture
from the University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, in 2014. I was a Research Assistant
with the Silicon Intelligence and Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) Signal
Processing Laboratory, the University of Tehran from 2014 to 2016. I am
currently a Research Assistant at the School of Computing and Informatics, the
University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. My current research
interests include in-memory computation, stochastic computing, low power &
energy-efficient VLSI design, and embedded systems.
