I am a Ph.D. candidate in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Karthik Duraisamy, and am also pursuing a Ph.D. in Scientific Computing through the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE). I previously completed my M.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia (2020-2022), where I worked with Prof. Carl Ollivier-Gooch, and received my B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) (2015-2019).

My research focuses on scientific machine learning (SciML) and AI for science (AI4Science), with an emphasis on reduced-order modeling (model reduction), operator learning, and neural surrogates. My long-term goal is to develop fast and reliable physics-informed ML/AI models that enable near-real-time prediction, control, and decision-making for complex dynamical systems. Such capabilities are essential for emerging applications, including digital twins, design optimization, and intelligent simulators in science and engineering.
