I am a Gleason endowed assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). I direct the Khojasteh Autonomous Systems Laboratory (KAS Lab) . I am affiliated with the Global Cybersecurity Institute (GCI) and the Center for Human-aware AI (CHAI) at RIT.
Before joining RIT, I held postdoctoral positions at
Marine Physical Laboratory (MPL) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography,
Department of Mechanical Engineering and Laboratory for Information &
Decision Systems (LIDS) at MIT, and Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) at Caltech, where I worked with Team CoSTAR as visitor at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I did my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Intelligent Systems, Robotics, and
Control) at UC San Diego. Before that, I earned two bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics from Sharif University of Technology. I received the Gleason Chair in 2024 and the 2025 Provost’s Learning Innovation Grant at RIT. My publications, co-authored with colleagues and students, have received awards, including Tammy L. Blair Student Paper Award from the International Society of Information Fusion.
