Sharif University of Technology - B.Sc. in Computer Engineering (Sep 2019 - May 2024)

• GPA: 18.88/20 (3.91/4.00)

🔬 Research

Broadband Access Communications Lab (McGill University) - Research Assistant (Jan 2026 - Present)

Supervisor: Prof. Tho Le-Ngoc

• Using Diffusion Models on Predicting Communication Channels: Benchmarked zero-shot diffusion models, then developed a domain-specific pretrained model using OpenAI’s improved-diffusion framework on a custom MATLAB-simulated wireless channel dataset.

• Applied pretrained diffusion models as backbone networks for wireless channel prediction, enabling multi-task inference including denoising, inpainting, and super-resolution.

WebAssembly Analysis and Testing Lab (University of Southern California) - Remote Research Assistant (Sep 2024 - Aug 2025)

Supervisor: Prof. Weihang Wang

• Towards Comprehensive WebAssembly Malware Detection: Curated a large, diverse dataset spanning cryptojacking, keyloggers, malicious redirects, and obfuscated JavaScript malware, and designed a novel detection framework combining static and dynamic analysis with LLMs.

• Code Reasoning Abilities of LLMs: Evaluated LLMs’ code reasoning abilities through a fine-grained execution trace annotation system and perturbation suite.

Intelligent Software Engineering (ISE) Lab (Sharif University of Technology) - Research Assistant (Sep 2023 - May 2024)

Supervisor: Prof. Abbas Heydarnoori

• Conducted research on the automatic generation of titles for GitHub issues using PyTorch and Pandas.
