Background
I joined Google Research to work on image processing, computer vision and machine learning problems. I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering from UC Santa Cruz. I joined the Multi-Dimensional Signal Processing (MDSP) group in 2010 and finished my studies in 2015 (My PhD Thesis). I hold my MSEE and BSEE from Isfahan University of Technology, Iran. (resume)
