Mohammad Moghadasi

Welcome to my homepage!

I am a PhD candidate at Boston University joined the Division of Systems Engineering and Center of Information and Systems Engineering in 2009. Currently, I am working in the Network Optimization and Control Lab under supervision of Professor Ioannis Ch. Paschalidis.

My research interests lie in the field of systems and control, optimization theory, distributed optimization algorithms, network optimization, optimal stochastic control, nonlinear control, applied probability and operations research with applications in sensor netwoks and computational biology. In collaboration with Structural Bioinformatic Lab headed by Professor Sandor Vajda, I am developing and implementing new distributed optimization algorithms to solve several NP-hard problems in protein-proten docking.

I graduated from Sharif University of Technology in Iran in 2009 receiving my B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering. My undergraduate research was mainly based on Stochastic Optimization Theory under supervision of Professor Massoud Babaei-Zadeh
