About Me
I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science department at the University of Illinois Chicago, and I am extremely fortunate to have Stavros Sintos as my advisor. Prior to this, I graduated with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Amirkabir University of Technology.
My primary research interests include theoretical and practical aspects of databases and data management. I do research on designing efficient algorithms for data management systems, with applications in machine learning and big data analysis. I am particularly interested in using the power of geometric data structures to evaluate database queries more efficiently with theoretical guarantees.
In general, I am very interested in attempting to solve algorithmic riddles of any kind and enjoy doing research in any subfield of TCS. Here is my CV.
