I am an infrastructure asset manager with special focus on engineering structures and railways at Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn. I earned my Dr. Sc. ETH Zurich degree in 2024 for my research at the Chair of Infrastructure Management on the use of digitalization to improve railway asset management with a close collaboration with Swiss Federal Railways (SBB).
I also obtained a MSc. in railway transportation engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 2019 with a focus on railway operations management, where i had the chance to work on a national project funded by Iranian National Railway Company (RAI) in order to increase the efficiency of mineral cargo transportation. Before starting my PhD, after graduation, I had a chance to experiance the indutry by working at RailPardaz Seir company for a year.
Although I am no longer actively involved in academic research, I am still passionate about new research topics and willing to collaborate as much as my time allows. My academic interests include The use of mathematical optimization to improve infrastructure management, the use of technologies and methods such as data analysis, learning models, large language models, and computer vision to provide better decision support in the railway context.

This paper addresses the complex iterative process railway managers currently use to sequence necessary interventions 2-10 years in advance, which requires extensive knowledge of costs, service impacts, locations, and failure risks. The authors propose a mixed integer linear programming algorithm that optimizes multicomponent railway intervention programs by maximizing net benefit while considering possession windows, costs, service impacts, and interdependencies, demonstrating up to 58% improvement in net benefit when tested on a 25-km Swiss railway network.
