I am an EU Marie Curie Global Fellow in the Computer Science Department of the University of California, Irvine, USA and in the Institute of Computer Technology of TU Wien, Vienna, Austria. I am also an adjunct professor (Docent) in embedded parallel and distributed computing in the Department of Future Technologies of University of Turku, Turku, Finland. I received my Ph.D. from the IT department at University of Turku, Finland, and my M.Sc. from ECE department at the University of Tehran. I also received my MBA jointly from Turku School of Economics and European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) Digital. I worked as a visiting researcher in the Department of Industrial and Medical Electronics of KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden (2/15-2/16). I am the recipient of the Nokia Foundation's Research Excellence Award (2 consecutive years), Ulla Tuominen Foundation's research excellence award, UTU's Teacher of the Year candidate, UTU's Rector awarded life-time Docent title, and the European Union's awarded Global Marie Curie Fellowship. My research is in embedded and cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things (IoT), and e-health. My work spans self-aware computing, runtime resource management for systems-on-chip and resource-constrained IoT devices, wearable sensor design, and Fog/Edge Computing. I am especially excited about novel sensing, computation, communication and networking paradigms, applied to healthcare/medical and wellbeing applications.
