Research Interests

I am mostly interested in designing RF/Analog and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits. Currently, I am researching a way to design an energy harvesting ultra-low power integrated circuit for wireless neural recording and stimulation. Limited power budget and area raise serious challenges for recording from numerous nodes and data telemetry.

My research targets a wide variety of applications because batteryless integrated sensors could be used in sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) applications as well as biomedical sensors.

Academics

Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering Department at Rice University. I am a research assistant at Rice Integrated Circuits and Systems (RISC) group working with Dr. Aydin Babakhani since 2014.

I graduated from Sharif University of Technology with a B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering in May 2014, where I focused on Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs). At the same year, I joined to Rice University to start my graduate studies.

About Me

I was born in 1992 and raised in Takestan, Qazvin, where I attended high school. Both of my parents were teachers and they always encouraged me to study and broaden my knowledge about different subjects. I have two younger sisters. One of them is studying medicine and the other one is a high school student.

During my leisure time, I enjoy playing volleyball and hanging out with friends. In addition, I like hiking and traveling. I enjoy hanging out with people from different countries and getting familiar with different cultures.
