I am an Assistant Professor at the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, where I am also affiliated with the Institute for Control, Optimization and Networks (ICON). I lead the Autonomous Knowledge Acquisition and DEcision MakIng (AKADEMI) Group, making theoretical and foundational advancements toward trustworthy sequential decision-making, with the vision of enabling the design of competent, autonomous systems that co-exist with humans, empower them, and are socially, ethically, and economically beneficial.

Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, USA, in 2021, under the supervision of Prof. Ufuk Topcu. Prior to Ph.D., I received my M.S.E. degree in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, USA, in 2017, and my B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran, in 2014.
