Experiences
2022 - Present
SantAnna University
Research Fellow at the Institute of Mechanical Intelligence
Design and prototyping cutting-edge soft exoskeleton (Flexos)
- In this role, I utilize CAD software to create intricate designs, perform detailed analysis using specialized tools, and assemble and test the mechanisms in real-world environments to ensure optimal performance. Throughout the process, I am also responsible for researching and selecting materials to achieve the desired outcomes. mechanisms, analyzing their performance, and selecting the best-suited materials to ensure optimal functionality.
2022 - Present
Wearable Robotics Co.
Mechanical Design Engineer
Developing Exoskeletons
- I conduct research, design and prototype exoskeletons, analyze their performance, and select appropriate materials to optimize their function and efficiency.
2021 - 2022
Baal Industries Co.
Design Engineer
Designs and manufactures Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB).
- I utilized SolidWorks to design and develop mechanical products throughout all stages of development, including detailed design, manufacturing transfer, and commercial launch. Additionally, I conducted research, analyzed product performance, and selected appropriate materials.
2017 - 2021
BornaTech Startup
Founder - CEO - Mechanical Design Engineer
My startup company was founded with the goal of empowering individuals who have suffered from spinal cord injuries or physical disabilities. We had the opportunity to design and develop two robots for assistive mobility and rehabilitation: ISTARO, which enables paraplegic patients to stand, sit, and move on their feet without assistance, and Exoro, an innovative robot designed for patients with paralysis in both the upper and lower extremities to stand, sit, and move with greater ease and independence.
- Designed and analyzed parts and mechanisms using Autodesk Inventor.
- Utilized MATLAB-Simulink to simulate and control the robots.
- Assembled the prototypes and conducted testing in various locations, including the Robotics Lab at Shiraz University and physiotherapy centres.
2017 - 2018
Shiraz University
Researcher - RehaBot Project
Novel rehabilitation robot for gait therapy (Master of Science Thesis)
- Design, dynamic modeling, simulation and control by MATLAB and Autodesk Inventor.
- Real-time Arduino-based controller, integrate designed models with MATLAB/Simulink into robot setup.
- Prototyping and testing the robot in the Robotics and Control Lab at Shiraz University.
2017
