Welcome to my homepage!

I am currently a Ph.D. student of Mechanical Engineering at School of Engineering, University of Connecticut since January 2010. I am working as a research assistant in Computational Design Lab. under supervision of Prof. H. Ilies, and as a teaching assistant in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I have received my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at University of Tehran in September 2008.
