I'm a PhD student at KTH University and a researcher at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS), currently working on peer-to-peer overlay networks under supervision of Prof. Seif Haridi and Dr. Jim Downling. I received my Master degree in distributed systems from KTH - Royal Institute of Technology in 2008, and in computer architecture from Amirkabir University of Technology in 2003. You can find my CV here.
