From 2018, I'm working as a Director, Product Development and Innovation at Mastercard. I worked as senior data scientist in Monsanto between 2013-2018. I love to play with data and explore adventure routes using machine learning and statistics. I received my PhD degree from the Mechanical Engineering department, Michigan State University, in 2013. I obtained my B.Sc. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology and Sharif University of Technology, respectively, in 2005 and 2007. My research interests include Statistical analysis, Machine learning and AI, Algorithm, and last but not least, localization and system identification, with applications to mobile robotic sensors.
