Employments and Professional Experiences

Eastman Kodak, Rochester, NY [summer intern] May. 2011 – Aug 2011

• Designing a sparsity based model for video contents.

• Utilizing such model to perform advanced video processing tasks such as scene change

detection, object removal, video montaging, inpainting and object tracking without relying on

local motion estimation/ detection and/or image segmentation.

Technicolor (Thomson), Princeton, NJ [summer intern] May. 2010– Aug. 2010

• Utilizing state of the art researches on Affine Constraint Rank Minimization and theory of

compressed sensing to achieve video compression.

Michigan State University-Waves Lab [research assistant] Summer. 2007– Present

• Designing an optimal (in terms of sample requirement and complexity) and robust (in the

presence of noise) combinatorial algorithm for the compressed sensing framework.

• Utilizing theory of compressed sensing to solve algorithm intensive image processing and

video processing problems, such as color image demosaicing, video modeling and video

montaging.

Tehran Municipality, Tehran, Iran [team lead, system designer] Spring 2004–Winter 2007

• Leading "Kiosk project": Designing a low cost (embedded) kiosk system to be installed in

some bus stops, allowing people to browse news while waiting for the bus.

• Customizing a Linux based OS for a low cost set-top-box (to be deployed in regions where

cable TV was not available).

Semiconductor industries of Iran [team lead, consultant] Summer. 2003 – Winter. 2004

• Workshops on Linux device driver programming, real-time systems and operating systems.

• Designing a generic low cost, embedded system and developing firmwares for some

peripherals (e.g. touch screen) to be connected to that system.

Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran [research assistant] 2003–2007

• Designing a scalable overlay (peer-to-peer) network architecture.

• Implementing a video streaming server on Intel IXP 1200 network processor.

Patents

• Video representations using a sparsity-based model ( K000877US01/KES), Eastman

Kodak.

• Scene boundary determination using a sparsity-based model ( K000878US01/KES),

Eastman Kodak.

• Motion Matrix for video compression (PU 100198/IU 100197), Technicolor.

• An under-review patent in Michigan State Technologies (applications of over-complete

frames in color image representations).

Honors, Awards and Grants

• Had significant contribution on NSF award #1117709 in 2011 ($ 408,536 granted).

• DCF fellowship, department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, MSU, 2012.

• Top 10% paper award in IEEE Multi-Media Signal Processing (MMSP) for the paper with

the title "Compressive Demosaicing".

• Ranked 31st among more than 350,000 applicants in the Iranian Nationwide University

Entrance Exams (Konkoor), 1999.
