Research Engineer @ Huawei
IEEE journals reviewer for JSAC, TWC, TCOM, WCL, CL, and TVT.
I am a senior research engineer at Huawei in Ottawa, Canada. I obtained my B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the Babol Noshirvani University of Technology (BNUT), Babol, Iran, in 2014, and later earned an M.Sc. degree in wireless communication systems engineering from the Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), Isfahan, Iran, in 2017. In 2023, I successfully completed my Ph.D. with the Department of Electrical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada. I have practical experience in 3G and LTE RAN planning and optimization. My current research pursuits encompass applied machine/deep learning in wireless communications, MIMO communication systems, signal processing, and optimization.

My master's thesis focused on the synchronization of time and frequency in a massive MIMO multiuser system uplink with frequency errors. Considering carrier frequency offset (CFO) and ICI in OFDM systems, I developed a method for jointly estimating the channel and CFO. My research has been extended to the design of a low-complexity receiver capable of compensating for CFOs and detecting symbols. As a result of my thesis, a paper was published in an IEEE conference.
Supervisor:
My thesis focused on the simulation of OFDM and OFDMA multi-user transmitters and receivers. Simulations were conducted in MATLAB.

Prior to becoming a PhD researcher, I was a research associate in Dr. François Leduc-Primeau's lab.
I began my career with the planning team, focusing on 3G and LTE. I became familiar with network optimization during my planning tasks. Due to my academic background and experience in network planning, I was able to join the Tehran project's network optimization team. In the beginning, I was a BSC owner, then I became a RNC owner of Tehran's network.
I was honored to be Vice-president of nationwide Robatics competition.
