Short CV
I started my research on January 2013 as a research assistant at the Distributed Systems Group (DSG) and also Formal Methods in Systems Engineering (Forsyte) , Institute of Information Systems, Vienna University of Technology. Furthermore, I am a PhD student at Doctoral college “Adaptive Distributed Systems”. I have received both my BSc and MSc in Software Engineering from Shahid Beheshti University, faculty of Electrical Computer & Engineering in Tehran, Iran. I focused on the field of Web Service Composition in my master thesis. During my master I have worked as a research assistant in the Service Oriented Enterprise Architecture laboratory (SOEA-lab) and Automated Software Engineering Research Group (ASER) at Shahid Beheshti University.
Research Interests
Current Projects
The VaVeL project (Verification and Validation of Scalable Infrastructures) is a bilateral research project with Forsyte research group in the context of the Doctoral College for Adaptive Distributed Systems. I am supervised in this project jointly by Prof. Helmut Veith and Dr. Ivona Brandic. I work on foundational formal models for the verification and validation of Cloud infrastructures.
