About me

I finished my M.Sc degree in software engineering at University of Isfahan, where I was advised by Dr. Marjan Kaedi and Dr. Ali Pourmiri (co-supervisor from The University of New South Wales) and worked on recommender systems. My thesis was about "Considering User's Dynamic Preferences for Mitigating Negative Effects of Long-tail in Recommender Systems. Also, I received my BSc from Zanjan University.
