Career Profile
I am a Life Long Learner (L^3) and a postdoctoral researcher at the National University of Singapore (NUS). My interests span very different areas, such as hardware security, VLSI design, and dependable computing architectures, just to name a few.
I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Tehran (Iran), completed in January 2025. This journey was fueled by — most importantly — countless cups of coffee! My doctoral research centered on hardware security and anti-counterfeit design, specifically developing scalable and reliable logic locking techniques to detect and prevent counterfeit hardware.
During my Ph.D., I was a visiting research scholar at the Computing and Architecture (CompArch) group at NUS, where I gained further experience in secure and efficient computing systems.
Beyond computers, my interests go beyond just chocolate, cookies, and Persian food (though they’re hard to resist). I also keep an eye on my fitness—balancing my love for food with climbing and a variety of solo adventures.
