About - Control Science

My Story

In 2018, I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), Isfahan, Iran. In 2020, I completed a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST), Tehran, Iran.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, with a strong emphasis on Control Systems. I have substantial experience in programming with MATLAB, Python, and Arduino, and I am proficient in English as a second language. Additionally, I have hands-on skills in designing electrical circuits and applying control theory to real-world systems.
