I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing Sciences and Mathematics at Mount Royal University (MRU), where I lead the INtelligent COmmunications and DEcision netwoRks (INCODER) Lab. My research focuses on data-driven decision-making and the stochastic modeling and control of large-scale networked systems. My current research interests include:

• Age of Information (AoI) in wireless networks
• Machine learning for emerging communication networks
• Projection and control of spreading processes over complex networks
• Learning-based resource allocation in cyber-physical systems
• Modeling and performance evaluation

Before joining MRU in 2024, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Computing Science, University of Alberta. From 2017 to 2022, I was an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering and Digital Sciences at Nazarbayev University, where I led the Complex Networks and Systems Laboratory (CNSL). I received my PhD in Information and Communications from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), South Korea, under the supervision of Kiseon Kim and Khosrow Sohraby. I also hold MSc and BSc degrees in Computer Engineering from the University of Tehran, Iran.
