Featured Research Project

Autonomous Object-Goal Navigation Robot

Autonomous Object-Goal Navigation Robot

Conducted under Prof. Babak Khalaj’s supervision at Sharif University of Technology. Developed an autonomous four-wheeled robot capable of Object-Goal Navigation with natural language interaction in both simulated (Webots) and real-world environments. Collaborated in a multidisciplinary team of 4 members, contributing to system integration, perception–navigation alignment, and collaborative debugging during deployment.

Selected Coursework Projects

Computational Efficiency in Trajectory Prediction

Conducted under Dr. Sajjad Amini’s supervision for Deep Generative Models course. Evaluated multiple trajectory prediction models on Jetson Nano and Quadro RTX, measured computational cost in terms of energy consumption and inference time, and provided comparative analysis beyond accuracy to assess model efficiency.

Research Assistant for Paper Recommendation using LLMs

Research Assistant for Paper Recommendation using LLMs

Conducted under Prof. Babak Khalaj’s supervision for a Data Science project. Crawled academic datasets from the web for evaluation, applied preprocessing techniques and regression models, and developed an LLM-powered assistant to recommend research papers based on input descriptions.
