Research Interests

Medical electronics and emerging point-of-care technologies have transformed the concept of public health. The development of wearable devices for continuously monitoring human biomarkers and intelligent implantable systems for delivering electroceutical therapies is the foundation for the prognosis and treatment of a broad spectrum of neurophysiological disorders. To this end, my areas of research are as follows:

  • Bioelectronics and bioinstrumentation.
  • Wearable sensors and devices.
  • Implantable medical systems.
  • Signal processing in human neurophysiology.
  • Biological systems modeling.

 

Professional Associations

  • Member, IEEE.
  • Member, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.
  • Member, IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society.

 

More About Me

I received my BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran, in 2002, and my MSc degree in Electronic Engineering from Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, in 2011. Besides, I completed my PhD coursework at the Polytechnic University of Turin and my research project at the University of California, Davis, and received my PhD degree in Electronic Engineering in 2015. I have had the opportunity to conduct post-doctoral research in bioelectronics and the development of wearable and implantable medical devices for the diagnosis and treatment of neurophysiological disorders at the New York Institute of Technology (2017–2020) and Texas A&M University (2020–2021).
