About Me

I’m a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), with a minor in Computer Vision. Prior to my doctoral studies, I gained several years of corporate experience and completed two bachelor’s degrees in Iran.

My research interests lie in human pose estimation, with a focus on musculoskeletal human models. I aim to bridge the gap between classic pose estimation and biomechanical attributes of the human body. Most of my work centers on healthcare applications of pose estimation.
