I am currently a PhD Student in the Centre for Complex Systems Research in the Faculty of Engineering and IT at The University of Sydney. I received my M.Sc in Engineering from the School of Industrial and Management Engineering (Technology Management, Economics and Policy Program) at Seoul National University (South Korea) in August, 2008. I received my B.Sc in Computer (Software) Engineering from the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering at Isfahan University of Technology (Iran) in August, 2002. My primary research interests include social network analysis, methods for analyzing various types of complex networks and their evolutionary patterns, and also bibliometrics (evaluating academics' performance and collaboration networks).
