Short bio:
I hold a PhD (Hons) in Mech Eng (Robotics, 2010) and completed a research visit at the Univ. of Padova, Italy.
I began my academic career at Shahrood Univ. of Tech (Iran), later becoming Head of the Mechatronics School, alongside industry experience in automation (e.g., Festo).
In 2019, I joined CUHK (T Stone Robotics, Hong Kong), working on robotics and ML. From 2021–2023, I was an R&D Eng./Co-Manager on a Eurostars project at Aalborg Univ. (with TKS A/S Denmark, and Assistive Innovations, Netherlands).
Since 2023, I have been at CSE, UNSW Sydney.
