About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, working under the supervision of Michael Brudno and Babak Taati. I am also a graduate researcher at the Vector Institute.

My research explores the synergy between generative models and 3D reconstruction, focusing on 3D data generation, representation, and editing.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the Iran University of Science and Technology. I am always eager to discuss research ideas and collaborate on exciting projects. Feel free to reach out!
