General: I received my B.Sc. in Electronics Engineering and M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Electrical-Biomedical Engineering. During my Ph.D. I spent 6 months at Biorobotics Laboratory (BioRob), EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. After finishing my PhD, I worked as an assistant professor at Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Isfahan (Isfahan, Iran) and as a research associate at Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine and movement sciences, University of Verona (Verona, Italy). I should mention that after finishing my B.Sc., I was working as an electronics engineer to design and implement electronic devices. Later, I expand my experience in repairing and implementing biomedical/bioelectrical devices. To this end, I attend a short-term training on biomedical devices at Corbett research, Sydney, Australia.
Current position: research associate at the Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine and Movement Sciences, University of Verona (Verona, Italy).
Practical skills: implementing electronics sensors for biomedical data acquisition, developing Matlab toolbox (for instance, for an experiment with the ability of real-time visual feedback about what sensors measures), Arduino projects.
Specialization: Computational and cognitive neuroscience, human motor control and movement analysis, system identification and pattern recognition, signal processing, biological system modeling, artificial intelligence, optimization and prediction.
Main interests: Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience, brain mapping, biofeedback based learning and rehabilitation, Biomedical Instrumentation and Measurements, Sensorimotor Neuroscience, placebo, Human Motor Control and Planning, Biological System Modeling, System Identification.
Background: I have a strong mathematical and theoretical background (ranked 5
th in B.Sc. public university entrance exam in Electronics Engineering, ranked 8
th Electrical Engineering Olympiad in Iran and ranked 2
th in mathematics Olympiad in Isfahan province, ran) with many years of experiences about implementing electronic sensors. I was working as a service engineer for more than 10 years to design and repair electronic industrial and biomedical devices. In addition, I was working as a university assistant professor and as a university lecturer for more than 12 years in the field of electronics engineering and biomedical engineering. Furthermore, I was working as a researcher for more than 5 years in the field of cognitive neuroscience with a lot of experience about neuro-stimulation (TMS and tDCS).
