Hello! My name is Babak Taheri, and I received my Master's of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in May 2019 from Department of Electrical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, and my thesis was optimal network hardening to enhance distribution networks resiliency against hurricane, advised by Prof. Amir Safdarian. Prior to that, I received the Bachelor's of Science degree from the University of Tabriz in July 2017 with the highest distinction honors. Outside of my work in research and education, I enjoy hiking, traveling, camping, watching movies, and playing football.
