Short Bio

I have been a faculty member since October 2010. Before that, I was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 2008, M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in 2004, and B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Amir-Kabir University of Technology in 2002. From March to July 2007, I was a visiting student at Princeton University. I received the NSF CAREER Award 2012 from the National Science Foundation for my research on smart grid; the Best Paper Award from the IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Communication 2012; and also the Best Paper Award from the IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting 2013. I serve as Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid and also the IEEE Communications Letters.
