Trained as an engineer.
Working on the nervous system.
A little about how I got here, how I work, and what I'm looking for next.
I came to neuroscience through engineering, not the other way around — and that order still shapes how I work. I hold a Bachelor's and Master's in Biomedical Engineering, and I'm now completing a PhD in Neuroscience at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. What I do, at the core, is turn data into meaning: I analyze signal, image, and video — sensor time series, markerless kinematics, medical images, behavioral recordings — across clinical, animal, and computational studies.
My edge is that I also build the instruments behind that data. My undergraduate work was a hands-on rehabilitation device; my Master's was a computational imaging pipeline; my doctorate brought both together into a system where I designed the acquisition hardware and wrote the analysis that turned its raw signals into results. Because I understand the full chain from sensor to signal to result, I trust my data in a way a pure analyst often can't.
Looking ahead, my focus is the computational and clinical side: carrying these analysis methods toward human clinical application — digital biomarkers and open, shareable tools. I care about reproducibility as a practical discipline: code another lab can actually run, and pipelines documented well enough to hand over.
"Reproducibility isn't a checkbox at the end of a project — it's a design constraint from the first line of firmware. If I can't hand a tool to another lab and have it work, I haven't finished building it."
Education
Ph.D. in Neuroscience
Building a driving-inspired behavioral paradigm that quantifies procedural motor-skill acquisition and its degradation under amyloid-β pathology — including the full custom measurement and analysis stack.
M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering
Biomechanical soft-tissue deformation modeling using Digital Image Correlation; developed a Python pipeline for ventricular deformation analysis.
B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering
Designed and built an Arduino-controlled continuous-passive-motion (CPM) wrist rehabilitation device.
Where I add the most value.
Signal, Image & Video Analysis
Tactile / contact-sensor time series, markerless pose estimation with DeepLabCut, video kinematics, and medical-image processing (3D Slicer, Mimics, Digital Image Correlation).
Reproducible Pipelines & Statistics
Python analysis pipelines and linear mixed-effects modeling, built to be auditable and rerunnable by others.
Instrumentation & Hardware — my edge
Designing behavioral apparatus and acquisition hardware around Arduino and microcontroller systems, with timestamped tactile / contact sensing — from prototype to working rig.
Toward Clinical & Digital Health
Moving these computational methods toward human clinical application — digital biomarkers, remote monitoring, and open, shareable analysis tools.
