Biography
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the ECE department and Neuroscience Research Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). I work under supervision of professor B. S. Manjunath and Professor William Smith.
I received my PhD from the School of  Electrical and Computer Engineering  at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana under supervision of  professor  Edward J. Delp.
I. 2004, I received my B.Sc degree with honors from the Electrical Engineering department of Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.

Research

My main research interests are in the areas of Neuroscience, Bioimage analysis, and Video and Image Content Analysis.
Currently, I am studying the morphogenesis in Ascidian embryos. I am developing computational tools to quantify cell shape changes during morphogenesis.

 During my Phd years, at the VIPER lab at Purdue University, I have worked on several projects including:

• User Generated Video Content Analysis
• Rosetta Phone: A Hand‐held Device for Automatic Translation of Signs in Natural Images
• Texture-Based  Video Coding

Coursework
