Job title: 
postdoctoral researcher
Department: 
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Delle Monache Research Group
Bio/CV: 

I  am a postdoctoral researcher working with Dr. Delle Monache's research group at UC Berkeley. I received my Ph.D. and Master's degrees in system engineering and pure mathematics focused on "Stochastic Analysis of Optimal Velocity Dynamical Model" from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Additionally, I hold a master's degree in optimization from Sharif University of Technology.

Research interests: 

My research agenda revolves around abstract mathematical analysis and rigorous numerical studies of problems arising in science and engineering. As one particular application, I am interested in an in-depth analysis of physical systems such as the fluid behavior of traffic dynamics in the context of intelligent transportation systems.

  • The theoretical objective of my research is the ambition to conduct a thorough and rigorous mathematical analysis of the underlying physical and cyber-physical complex systems. I am interested in abstract analysis of  PDEs, dynamic systems, and control mainly in the weak sense, i.e., when the solution is defined in proper functional and topological vector spaces

  • From a practical perspective, my interest lies in validating the analytical results, through meticulous numerical analysis and analysis of collected real-world data. In particular, I am deeply committed to translating theoretical insights into practical solutions with tangible real-world significance (read more here).

  • Through a multidisciplinary approach, my research incorporates rigorous mathematical analysis, sophisticated computational modeling, and comprehensive data analysis. These methods are geared towards advancing our comprehension of physical and engineering phenomena.
