I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of Tabriz. I received a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics from University of Tabriz in 1971, an M.S.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton University in 1978, and a Ph.D. degree in Computing and Information Science from Queen's University. 

Before returning to graduate school in 1992, I worked with AT&T Bell Laboratories for several years.  After completion of my Ph.D. degree in 1996, I worked for several months as a Post-Doctoral Fellow with Software Technology Laboratory of the Department of Computing and Information Science at Queen's University.
