About Me

Hi! I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computer Engineering at the University of Tehran. My research interests lie at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. I am particularly interested in robustness and generalization, especially in understanding how large-scale models behave under distribution shifts and in complex real-world settings.

Research Internships

I have been fortunate to work with some amazing researchers and professors.

University of Waterloo

Evaluating the performance of vision-language models across diverse real-world tasks.

Advisor: Prof. Wenhu Chen

Chinese University of Hong Kong

Certifying the performance of machine learning models under distribution shifts.

Advisor: Prof. Farzan Farnia

University of Stuttgart

Analyzing diachronic semantic shifts of compounds to model present-day compositionality.

Advisor: Prof. Sabine Schulte im Walde

Miscellaneous

I like reading (lately I’ve been a fan of Kazuo Ishiguro), crochet, and playing santoor.
