If I want to introduce myself in only one sentence, I should say that I am a robot lover!

I'm a Mechanical Engineer with a background in Electrical Engineering. My professional interest lies in Mechatronics and most specifically Mobile Robotics.

My B.Sc. thesis was "Using novel Triangular Tracked Wheel (TTW) locomotion mechanism in rescue robots". This project funded about 400,000 US$ and it won 2nd place award of best student projects at ISME 2009. In this project we designed and built 5 different types of TTW based robots within the 5 years.

During my education I collaborated with industry in several robotics projects as my part time jobs. Also, I have been a member of robotics teams of the university in several RoboCup competitions including:

• Middle Size League: 2004
• Rescue Robot League: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011
