About / background

I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering – Control Systems (2024) from the University of Tabriz, following an M.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering (2017) and a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering – Electronics. I currently serve as CEO of Vira Fanavar Tural Company, where I lead R&D on smart energy systems, autonomous robotics, and industrial control solutions.

My research focuses on observer and controller design for nonlinear impulsive switched systems under uncertainties and unknown inputs, as well as intelligent and learning-based control approaches for robotic and energy systems.

Research Interests / focus areas

  • Observer design and state estimation for nonlinear and impulsive switched systems.
  • Robust, model predictive, and sliding-mode control for complex dynamical systems.
  • Deep reinforcement learning and optimization for robotic manipulators and Stewart platforms.
  • Intelligent energy management, data-driven control, and smart grid applications.
  • Deep learning and medical image analysis for decision support in healthcare.
