About me

I am a computer science Ph.D. student at the University of Washington working with Linda Shapiro and Ranjay Krishna. My interests revolve around computer vision, representation learning and multimodal learning.

Previously, I earned my Bachelor's degree from the Sharif University of Technology in Iran. Summer 2021, I received an International Undergraduate Excellence Award from the Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures & Augmented Reality (CAMPAR) at Technical University of Munich for a research internship in the field of Medical AI.
