I am a fourth year PhD candidate supervised by Dr. Cees Snoek and Prof. Arnold Smeulders. Before starting my PhD, I got my master's in Artificial Intelligence and my bachelor's in Software Engineering from University of Tehran . You can find my CV here .

I do research on understanding images and videos in multimedia environments, such as YouTube.
