I am an Assistant Professor at The Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and the director of MINDS Group. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral scholar at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I received my PhD and MSE degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering department at UT Austin in 2020 and 2016, and my BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in 2014.
MINDS Group has an opening for a postdoctoral postion on optimization for distributed machine learning. Please see here for more details.

Research Interests
My research interests include the study of Machine Learning, Online Learning, Learning in Games, and Networked/Distributed Decision-Making from the perspective of optimization. In doing so, we design efficient algorithms with mathematical guarantees to render practical deployment of learning-based systems possible under a variety of considerations such as limited resources, and adversarial attacks (see the Research tab for more details and the Publication tab for a complete list of my papers).
