I completed my undergraduate with “first class grade” at the Manipal Institute of Technology<\/a>, Manipal University, India. Manipal University is amongst most well known universities in India due to its rich cultural environment, infrastructure and researches going on. In my final two years, I achieved a GPA of 81%. I was honoured with two letters of appreciation for my academic performance from the Iranian Students Association of India. In addition, I twice received the Award for Academic Excellence<\/em> from the Iranian Ministry of Science and Technology. I won the First Prize award in a national level student paper presentation contest at Anna University, India, Sept 2008.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before I began my Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering at Manipal University<\/a>, my interest in intelligent machines and computer vision had already began. Throughout my undergraduate program, I pursued my interest in image processing by volunteering with several related research initiatives. Having the chance to complete my final semester while working in the field, I secured a six month, full-time research assistant position. Working with Dr. Robert Laganiere at the University of Ottawa<\/a>, my main project focused on the implementation of an effective and natural virtual navigation system in image-based renditions of real environments. I was also recruited to participate in an additional project that focused on the implementation of intelligent surveillance systems, built upon computer vision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At an open house event at the University of Ottawa I was struck by the prospects of image processing in telesurgery. Ever since, my focus has been on medical image computing. Currently, I am undertaking a Master of Science at Queen’s University. My thesis is on ultrasound image pose recovery using line fiducials, with application to 3D reconstruction and registration of ultrasound and pathology images. I collaborate with fellow graduate students and software engineers. While at Queen’s University, I have achieved an average of 86%. I have received the Queen’s Graduate Entrance Tuition Award<\/em> and the Queen’s graduate award<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My foundation is as a developer, in multiple languages, on many platforms. If the situation requires a code to be created, I deliver clean, readable, reusable, working code, quickly and correctly. I also have experience in learning and excelling at new technologies as needed. I am comfortable with structured code, Object Oriented programming, databases, and a wide array of other computer applications. I have every confidence that to the extent the position requires actual coding, I will meet any challenge presented.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While much of my programming experience has been within the scope of the academic field, I have also had an industrial background in the past and feel that I have a good business sense in the industrial environment. I have held on-call software development and maintenance positions that required me to resolve technical issues and implement technical enhancements; though a high stress and fast paced atmosphere, I thrived and it has enriched my technical skill set and expertise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Equipped with BEng and MSc degrees in Computer Science, I have a solid understanding of the full life cycle of a software development project. My experience includes but is not limited to:<\/strong><\/p>\n
