I am a first-year Computer Science Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University advised by Soudeh Ghorbani. I completed my master’s degree in Computer Engineering at Iran University of Science and Technology where I also got my bachelors degree on Computer Engineering. My research interests span around designing operating systems and host netwotking for datacenter applications. I enjoy playing with the kernel code and C is my best friend :)
