  • If you are a human: In contrast to Don Knuth who has half an email address, I have infinitely many of them (but only a finite, and in fact constant, amount of time to read and reply my email). My preferred address is however my first name (which is mahdi) at my first name dot ch.

Welcome to my personal home page! I'm a PhD candidate of Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science and Communication Systems (I&C), Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne. I work in Laboratory of Algorithmic Mathematics (LMA) as a research assistant under Amin Shokrollahi.

Before coming to Lausanne, I was an undergrad at Sharif Institute of Technology. In summer 2004 I obtained dual Bachelors in Software Engineering and Computer Hardware Engineering, both at the Department of Computer Engineering. Then I joined EPFL and ALGO (Laboratory of Algorithms) in October 2004 as a Masters student and finished my thesis work there in July 2005.

I'm mainly interested in all those weird stuff in Theoretical Computer Science, or more specifically:

However, I have experienced some image processing during my B.Sc. Project. My B.Sc. dissertation (in Persian, with an English abstract included) is about detection of human faces in color images. You could obtain the full package (a CD-ROM including the dissertation, related papers and references, and my implementation with full source code) by contacting either me or the department.

The latest version of my vita is available for screen view (Type-1 Fonts) and printing (rendered MetaFont).

This is my brand-new home page! My old pages are available at Sharif CE, which might be corrupted and/or outdated for I no longer maintain them.

I'm always happy to receive emails from you, but not spams!
