Short Biography

Ali received his Ph.D. degree in Informatics Engineering from Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto ( FEUP), Portugal, in 2016, under the supervision of Professor João M. P. Cardoso. Prior to that, he received his B.Eng and Master degree in computer engineering both from the IAU, Iran in 2002 and 2007, respectively. In 2010, he became a researcher at INESC TEC Porto and he involved in European and portuguese national projects during 2010 to 2011. Ali visited Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) twice during his Ph.D, and he worked in the group of Professor Juergen Becker at Institute for Information Processing Technology (ITIV), Karlsruhe, Germany. Before joining to FEUP, he also worked for three years as a lecturer at the faculty of Computer Engineering, Payame Noor University (PNU). Ali's research interests include Parallel Computing, Multicore and Many-core Architectures (CPU, GPU, FPGA), Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCMs), Reconfigurable Computing and Embedded System Design. He is a HiPEAC member since 2010.
