About

From bench measurements to optical modelling

My background includes electronics R&D, independent contracting and robotics-team work. In R&D, I compared circuit simulations with bench measurements to identify non-ideal effects. As a contractor, I took sole responsibility for the datalogger’s firmware architecture, hardware bring-up and field debugging.

My optics work spans custom wave-propagation solvers and photonic-device simulations. I check fabrication tolerance and compare analytical models with separate simulation tools. My completed micro/nano electronics coursework at Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran includes optoelectronics and quantum electronics.

I’m now based in Oulu, Finland, studying Electronics and Communications Engineering at the University of Oulu, specialising in wireless communications.
