1. Research:
   1. Parallel Implementation of Simulation–Based Dynamic Traffic Assignment, Research Assistant to Dr. Y. Shafahi, Sharif University of Technology. (Nov 2008- June 2010)
      • Development of a Type-2 Fuzzy Route Choice Model: The proposed model can consider different factors separately and more accurately to model real drivers’ behavior and handle uncertainties more efficiently.
      • Development of CATSIMS software: (Cellular Automata Simulation System): I developed this software in C++, as an object oriented program. Advance programming techniques such as parallel processing and advance memory management is implemented in this high performance micro simulator
      • Development of ParaCATS software: (Parallel Cellular Automata Traffic Assignment System): This novel parallel software, which is the final outcome of my thesis project, can perform simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment in large area of a city.
   2. Optimization and Development of Image Processing software. Research Assistant to Dr. Fazel Zarandi, Amir Kabir University of Technology (Feb 2008 – Nov 2008).
