I am interested in generative models and how to adapt them cheaply to customized use cases.

I am a PhD candidate at École de technologie supérieure in Montréal, working on deep learning for vision with Prof. Eric Granger and Prof. Mohammadhadi Shateri, and I am currently also a research intern at Electronic Arts, working on interactive world models for games.

Before that, I obtained my Master's in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tehran and my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering at the Isfahan University of Technology.
