About
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate (ERC-funded) at the Intelligent Networked Systems Institute (INSI), Northeastern University London, and a Non-Stipendiary Lecturer in Engineering Science at Oriel College, University of Oxford, and a Career Development Lecturer in Computer Science at Pembroke College, University of Oxford.
Previously, I was a Research Associate (EPSRC-funded) at King's College London, working with Prof. Osvaldo Simeone on conformal prediction, sequential hypothesis testing, post-selection model evaluation, and counterfactual inference for agentic AI systems.
I received my PhD in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford in 2024, supervised by Prof. Justin P. Coon, with a thesis on the information-theoretic analysis of the complexity and compression of network topologies. Before that, I completed a BSc in Electrical Engineering at Sharif University of Technology, graduating top-ranked in my programme with a GPA of 19.25/20.
