Education:

Skills:

Programming :C, Matlab, Simulink
Design and Fabrication of Mechatronic Systems. 
Computer Simulation of NeuroMusculoSkeletal Systems.

Interests:

I am interested in understanding of Distributed Artificial Intelligence and Computational motor control in human movement and Stability through modeling Neuromusculoskeletal system and Reinforcement Learning. The research in Ms. program is "Artificial Intelligence Based Control of Human Lumbar Spine, providing both movement and stability" .
Robotics, Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm, Fuzzy and Virtual Reality are also my interests.

Personal:

Iranian Citizen, Male, Single.

Projects:

  • Intelligent Design of Mechanical Elements, (BS. Thesis).
  • Design and Fabrication an Intelligent Robot for Second Iranian Robot Contest, 2001 Member of university of Tehran Robotic Team(2001).
  • Design and Fabrication of a Haptic Interface System (Joystick) for Interacting with Deformable Tissue Environment, (VR Application to Surgical Training). 
  • Artificial Intelligence Based Control of Human lumbar spine, providing both equilibrium and stability, (MS Thesis).
