About Me
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from K. N. Toosi University of Technology and Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran, Iran. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Montana State University, Bozeman, MT. After finishing my education, I conducted research studies as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and as a research scientist at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA. Before joining Wake Forest University, I was an assistant professor of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at Northern Illinois University and Rowan University.
My research focuses on wearable devices, medical microsystems and flexible bioelectronics to improve patient outcomes and benefit human health. My group designs, fabricates and characterizes biomedical devices in laboratory-controlled environments. In addition, we verify the capabilities of our devices in clinical settings. The wearable devices are designed for diagnostic, assistive and therapeutic purposes. We specifically develop wearable patches for early identification of melanoma and for monitoring the signs and symptoms of cardiopulmonary diseases (e.g., congestive heart failure, COVID-19). I am also the recipient of the NIH Early Career Research (ECR) Award to develop flexible, noninvasive pediatric hearing aids.
