About me
I'm Reza, and welcome to my personal website. I'm a Postdoctoral researcher at the Horizon Europe Graph-Massiviser project of Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (AAU), Austria, advised by Prof. Radu Prodan. Before that, I was a Ph.D. researcher at the Christian Doppler laboratory ATHENA of Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (AAU), Austria. My research is focused on Network and Service Management, Multimedia systems, Next Generation Networks (SDN, NFV, MEC, SFC, P2P), Edge-Cloud Continuum, Serverless Computing, Parallel and Distributed Systems, Optimization, and Learning-based approaches.
I received my Ph.D. in 2023 from the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (AAU), Austria, under the supervision of Prof. Hermann Hellwagner and Prof. Christian Timmerer. I also completed my M.Sc. in 2019, and B.Sc. in 2014 at the University of Tehran, IRAN, and University of Isfahan, IRAN, respectively. During my M.Sc., I worked with Prof. Naser Yazdani and Prof. Mohammad Ghanbari at the Router Lab of the University of Tehran.
During these years, I also worked in the computer networks field in different roles, e.g., network administrator, ISP customer support engineer, Cisco network engineer, network protocol designer, network programmer, and Cisco instructor (R&S, SP).
