Empirische Inferenz Dr. Alumni
Since September 2023 I am an assistant Professor at the Technical University of Munich.
From July 2022 to August 2023, I was a research scientist in the Empirical Inference department led by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schölkopf. My research focuses on both theoretical and empirical aspects of robotics, with a focus on locomotion and manipulation. I am mostly interested in generating complex motions for robots using machine learning and control theory and evaluating these behaviours on real robots.
From May 2018 to June 2022, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Movement Generation and Control Group led by Prof. Dr. Ludovic Righetti. During my postdoc, I also contributed to the European Project MEMMO as well as the developement of the Open Dynamic Robot Initiative (ODRI).
Before joining Movement Generation and Control Group as a postdoc, I visited Autonomous Motion Department as a PhD visitor. During my one year visit, I worked on generating robust walking patterns for the humanoid robot Athena.
From 2012 to 2015, I was the head of dynamics and control group in the Iranian national humanoid robot project, SURENA III. I designed some novel motion planning and control algorithms for humanoid robots and implemented on humanoid robot SURENA III.
