RESEARCH EXPERIENCES
Research Assistant at Colorado School of Mines (2013-Now).
My research highlights include:
◊ Thermal modeling and model predictive control of building (CSM, Brown building)
◊ Robust Model Predictive Control of methane reforming and fuel cells
◊ Developing estimation and identification methods
Advanced Control & Optimization Lab (2009-2012).
Being a research assistant in Advanced Control & Optimization Lab. headed by Prof. M. Haeri by
focusing on modeling and control of hybrid systems. Specifically:
◊
◊
Evaluating and analyzing of a proper Mixed Logical Dynamical model for GMAW process
Designing a Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller incorporating hybrid behavior of the process
during droplet detachment.
Intelligence and Robotic Lab(2008-2009).
In 2008-2009, I had been a Research Assistant of Intelligence & Robotics Lab. headed by Dr. A. M.
Shahri. Under his supervision, I have done various projects to conduct my B. Sc. thesis including:
◊
◊
◊
Research for design an intelligent smart electrical energy metering device by float price rate.
Design and test of the device: this device was equipped by an ATmega128 to process data. The
processor calculate new price of energy for customer by estimating load of network permanently.
The made device had only 1-5% error in calculating energy.
Finally, we implemented, and tested a smart grid network in which its nodes, equipped by
ATmega128, communicate with each other using Zigbee protocol (IEEE 802.15.4).
R&D department of Esfahan’s Mobarake Steel CO (2007-2008).
I have collaborated with Esfahan’s Mobarake Steel CO under supervision of Dr. Jalali on the following
project:
◊
Design and implementation of a Tele working center
In this project, the advantages and challenges associated with a Tele working center were investigated.
Also, a scenario was designed to set up a center which enables employees to control the process remotely.
