I'm a third-year Ph.D. student with the Scalable Tissue Imaging and Modeling Lab at the University of Houston, advised by Dr. David Mayerich. My current research focuses on developing GPU-accelerated computational methods for modeling and analyzing gigavoxel-scale data. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Tehran Polytechnic University in 2021.
