I am a Senior Researcher in the Algorithms and Theoretical Computer Science group at AT&T Labs - Research. In addition, I hold a Research Affiliate position in MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). I am also a Permanent Member of Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) at Rutgers. In Fall 2010, I join Computer Science Department, University of Maryland at College Park.

Before joining to AT&T Research Labs, I was a one-year Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (with ALADDIN project) and a one-year Postdoctoral Associate in MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) from which I also earned my Ph.D. under supervision of Professor Erik D. Demaine and Professor Tom Leighton (Sep. 2001- May 2005). I got my M.Sc. from the Computer Science Department of the University of Waterloo (Sep. 2000- Sep. 2001) and my B.Sc. from the Computer Engineering Department of Sharif University of Technology (Sep 1997-Sep 2000). During my doctoral studies, I also worked at Microsoft Research Theory group and Department of Mathematical Sciences at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.

I co-taught Advanced Algorithms: Topics in Game Theory graduate course at Rutgers University in Spring 2009.
I taught Network Design and Game Theory graduate course at Rutgers University in Spring 2008.

Currently I am a Guest Editor for ACM Transactions on Algorithms (TALG) special issue on selected papers from SODA 2008.
