Atefe Darabi Bio: Atefe received the B.Sc. degree in aerospace engineering from K. N. Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2015, and the M.Sc. degree in space engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2018. In 2020, she started her Ph.D. as a research assistant in electrical engineering at Northeastern University. Her research interest includes dynamical modeling and control of aerospace and robotic systems as well as epidemic networks. Her current research focus is on analyzing epidemic networks and designing preventive policies for epidemic containment. Research title: “Mitigation Strategies in Delayed Epidemic Networks” |

Reza Vafaee Bio: Reza is a first-year PhD student in electrical engineering at Northeastern University. He is currently a research assistant in the Dr. Siami’s research group. He is conducting research focusing on the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of perception for safe and reliable autonomy in the real world. Despite tremendous progress, most of the perception algorithms are generally still fragile, require ad hoc tuning, and are not amenable to verification. His research builds on spectral graph theory, optimization, estimation theory, and distributed computing. Prior to joining the program, he received his second master with highest distinction in pure and applied mathematics at Montclair State University, US, in 2020. Reza's Master's research focused on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based multidimensional data augmentation. When he is not doing research, he likes to read Persian poetry, play soccer, jog, and hang out with his friends. Research title: “Secure and Reliable Perception for Mobile Robots” |
