I'm a PhD candidate in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, under supervision of Professor Cristiana Amza.

My research interest is autonomic computing. I am exploring machine learning techniques for fault analysis and resource provisioning in large-scale, distributed systems.

• Resource provisioning in dynamic content servers
• Anomaly detection and root cause analysis
• Machine learning approaches to performance modeling

• M.S.c (Computer Engineering), University of Toronto.
• B.S.c (Computer Engineering-Software), Shahid-Beheshti University (Iran National University).
