Personal profile
Summary
I am currently a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing, University of Portsmouth. In my PhD, I used Artificial Intelligence techniques (Complex Fuzzy Rule-Based Networks and Genetic Algorithm) to develop a predictive model for adopting Telecommuting. I gained an MSc in Transportation Systems and Planning at the Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.
Teaching Responsibilities
I am currently involved as unit coordinator, lecturer and tutor in the following units:
- Practical Data Science
- Computer Architecture
- Network Fundamentals
I am also unit facilitator for the off-campus units:
- Transportation Engineering
- Design of Transportation Infrastructure
Research Interests
- Computational Intelligence (Fuzzy Logic, Rule-Based Systems, Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithm)
- Intelligent Transportation Systems
- Activity Based Transport Modelling
