UC Berkeley
I am a currently a sophomore at UC Berkeley, where I will graduate in 2023 with a B.A. in Computer Science and B.S. in Business Administration. My academic interests lie at the intersection of technology and business and I hope to gain experience in finance.
As a student in the computer science community, I have partaken in group projects and competitions pertaining involving data science. These projects, which can be found on my github or on the projects page, focused on using data science to overcome obstacles such as misinformation in news and outcome inequality in California schools. My project experience gave me exposure to how data science and machine learning principles can be used to assess trends and inform solutions.
On campus, I am involved in Beta Alpha Psi (Honors Business Fraternity), Data Science Society, and the Iranian Students' Cultural Organization.

I graduated summa cum laude from Blue Valley West Highschool (KS) in 2019.

In the Summer of 2020, I was a research assistant on a team led by Professor Alexandru Bardas at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Kansas. I was an acknowledged contributor on a paper on security flaws in service mesh deployment which was submitted to the SecureComm conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks. I also conducted research on IP geolocation security in peer-to-peer streaming.

As team captain, I led my the rest of the team in research and argument development which was used in competition at the national level. In my four years, I conducted research on public and foreign policy topics including from government surveillance, counter-terrorism, trade policy, diplomacy with China, education reform, immigration policy, and others.
