👉 I am currently on the job market for academic tenure-track and industry research positions.
If you know of suitable openings or potential collaborations, please feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect!
I am a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee , working with Dr. Robert Cuzner at Center for Sustainable Electrical Energy Systems (SEES), where I work on several ONR-funded research projects such as NiPEC-PEPDS Solution Space Exploration and Digital Twin Based Dielectric Scaling Law and Health Prognosis, Tech Candidate for Future Navy Integrated Power and Energy Corridor, Power Energy Thermal Technologies and Integration Systems (PETTIS), and Demo D Preparation.
I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 2025 from Clemson University, advised by Dr. Christopher Edrington at the Real Time COntrols and Optimization Laboratory (RT-COOL), where I was honored with two Outstanding Graduate Researcher awards. My ONR-funded Ph.D. dissertation developed a multi-objective electro-thermal management framework for modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based power electronics building blocks (PEBBs) in all-electric ships. It integrated model predictive control, electrical–thermal characterization, and data-driven degradation forecasting to achieve intelligent, adaptive, and resilient system performance under dynamic operating conditions.
Before joining Clemson, I earned my M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Islamic Azad University – South Tehran Branch in 2015 and 2012. My M.Sc. thesis improved the response and reliability of grid-connected photovoltaic systems using a novel trans-Z-source inverter (Trans-ZSI) with maximum constant boost control (MCBC). My B.Sc. thesis focused on power flow optimization of distribution networks in the presence of distributed energy resources.
My research centers on the design, modeling, and control of intelligent, high-efficiency power electronic converters for transportation electrification, renewable energy systems, and advanced power system applications.
In my free time, I enjoy movies and TV series 🎬, kitchen experiments 🍳, and an ongoing quest for the perfect cup of coffee ☕; my favorite closed-loop control system.
