About me
I am a final-year master's student in Computer Software Engineering at the University of Tehran, specializing in developing text-to-speech models. My research, guided by Dr. Faili and Dr. Shakery, focuses on creating a zero-shot text-to-speech model for the Persian language. Additionally, I contribute to the Natural Language Processing Lab, where I am involved in various projects including SOFIA, a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) based chatbot designed for customer service.
Before joining the University of Tehran, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT). During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a research assistant in the Intelligence and Large Scale System Research Lab, focusing on facial expression recognition under the guidance of Dr. Menhaj and Dr. Taheri.
