I've received my BSc in Electrical Engineering with major in communication systems from University of Tehran, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and currently pursuing my PhD in Electrical Engineering at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Texas at Austin. I'm a member of Wireless Communication and Networking Group (WNCG) and working under supervision of Prof. Constantine Caramanis.

Oh! there are so many to note, but not know! It's a long time the system is living in "back off" state, though still alive!
