I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in the Laboratory of Computational Neuroscience at EPFL, researching under the supervision of Prof. Wulfram Gerstner. I use statistical inference, information theory, and reinforcement learning to study the computational models of learning and decision making in the brain. I develop theoretical models and evaluate their predictions by analyzing behavioral and biological data. I have worked with EEG, MEG, fMRI, and single neuron recordings.

Prior to joining EPFL, I received my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology. During the last two years of my study, I did a few research projects in the Augmented Intelligence Research Lab (AIR Lab) under the supervision of Prof. Hamid Aghajan. My projects were mainly on studying biomarkers of surprise in EEG signals, decoding surprise using these biomarkers, and fMRI-based classification of visual and auditory stimuli.
