Education

University of Tabriz
2006 - 2010Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) Industrial EngineeringActivities and Societies: Since my Bachelor's degree, I've become increasingly interested in my field of study. I volunteered to do research, projects and presentations for most of the courses, that helped me to gain more knowledge and skills and find my passion in graduate studies. Also, I worked as a volunteer at Tabriz Young Elites' House for 3 years; (an NGO established by young researchers who had remarkable national/ international scientific achievements). Emphasize on:- Linear / Integer Programming- Scheduling & Sequencing- Advanced Manufacturing/ Virtual Manufacturing Cells- Production Planning/ Inventory Control / Facility Layout DesignThesis: Virtual Manufacturing Cells Scheduling in a Dynamic Environment- Studied advanced manufacturing configurations and layouts- Studied the literature of Virtual Manufacturing Cells scheduling problem- Implemented Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing based models to… Show more Emphasize on:- Linear / Integer Programming- Scheduling & Sequencing- Advanced Manufacturing/ Virtual Manufacturing Cells- Production Planning/ Inventory Control / Facility Layout DesignThesis: Virtual Manufacturing Cells Scheduling in a Dynamic Environment- Studied advanced manufacturing configurations and layouts- Studied the literature of Virtual Manufacturing Cells scheduling problem- Implemented Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing based models to solve the problem - Validate the performance of the developed algorithms through experiments on different size instances and compared them with the results of mixed integer optimization model.- Used IBM ILOG CPLEX, C# and Matlab for the implementations. - Developed a user interface in C# for graphical Facility Layout Design- Presented in conferences- Served as the vice-president and head of Science Committee of Tabriz Young Elites' House Show less
