Bio

I am a lecturer in Computer Science at the University of California Riverside (). I am also serve as a lecturer at the San Diego State University (). Prior to this, I received my PhD in Computer Science from University of California Riverside () under supervision of Dr. Rajiv Gupta where I was a member of the RIPLE research group and was working on GRASP projects. I received two master's degrees one in Computer Science from University of California Riverside () and one in Computer Architecture from University of Tehran ().

Research Interests

My research at UCR has been focusing on developing scalable high-performance solutions for graph processing by employing resources available on a heterogeneous computing cluster. More specifically, we developed the distributed MultiLyra [BigData’19] system whose scalability enables simultaneous evaluation of batches of hundreds of iterative graph queries. then, BEAD [BigData’20] extends MultiLyra to consider scenarios in which a batch of queries needs to be continuously reevaluated due to changes to the graph (for growing graphs). In the shared-memory setting, we have developed SimGQ [HiPC’20] online system that optimizes the evaluation of a batch of queries by sharing results of common sub-computations among them which won the best paper award in HiPC’20 and extended in SimGQ+ [JPDC'22].

I am also interested in Computer Architecture in general. During my master study I worked on High Performance Chip Multiprocessors by focusing on their Interconnection Networks; my thesis was titled "Using hybrid packet-circuit switching to improve memory access in NoC-based CMPs".
