I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a courtesy appointment in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia where I lead the Dependable Systems and Analytics group within the LinkLab.

My research interests are at the intersection of computer systems dependability and data science.
I am particularly interested in combined model and data-driven resilience assessment and design of embedded and cyber-physical systems, with a focus on safety and security validation and monitoring in medical devices and systems, surgical robots, and autonomous systems.

I am a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award in 2022 and the William C. Carter Ph.D. Dissertation Award in Dependability in 2017. Before joining UVA, I was a research staff member at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois, where I worked in the DEPEND group within the Coordinated Science Laboratory. I obtained my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the University of Tehran.
