About
My passion lies in the research and development of satellite positioning systems, with a particular fascination for smartphone positioning. I am deeply committed to continuous learning and expanding my knowledge in this domain. In pursuit of this, I delved into the realm of data recorded by smartphone GNSS receivers and the intricacies of multipath behavior. Under the guidance of Dr. Mohammad Mahdi Alizadeh Elizeie, I meticulously investigated and enhanced smartphone GNSS positioning accuracies. These endeavors culminated in my master’s thesis titled “Studying Multipath Effects in GNSS-Assisted Smartphone Precise Positioning,” which was presented and awarded a grade of A+.
If you wish to delve further into my background and interests, please read on or feel free to reach out for a conversation.

TEACHING ASSISTANT, K.N.TOOSI UNIVERSITY
Assuming the role of a teaching assistant for Theories of Geodesy has significantly enriched my engagement with foundational geodetic subjects. This experience has provided me with the opportunity to delve deeper into core topics within the field of geodesy, consequently fortifying my expertise. Moreover, instructing undergraduate students has been instrumental in refining my communication aptitude, thereby elevating my ability to effectively convey intricate concepts. This instructional engagement has empowered me to adeptly share not only theoretical knowledge but also my personal insights, programming expertise, and diverse ideas with my students.
March 2021 - November 2023
CONTENT MANAGER, RAYMAND GNSS
Driven by my passion for studying and researching geodesy and GNSS, I have taken on the pivotal role of curating specialized content for Raymand GNSS Solution. This engagement has proven to be an instrumental conduit for my intellectual growth. Beyond expanding my subject matter expertise, this endeavor has enriched my capabilities in diverse domains such as content creation, strategic planning, and adherence to SEO principles.
Among the auxiliary accomplishments arising from this role was my immersion in the realm of HTML programming language. This exposure, though brief, has conferred an invaluable understanding of coding principles and their application. Overall, this experience has been a multifaceted platform that has propelled my knowledge, skills, and proficiency in ways that extend beyond the boundaries of geodesy and GNSS.
September 2020 - August 2022
GUEST RESEARCHER, GFZ
Within our team, we were dedicated to the advancement of smartphone-based positioning. Throughout my collaboration with this esteemed team, I cultivated a comprehensive skill set encompassing the manipulation of GNSS data sourced from smartphones, the meticulous processing of their informational outputs, and the adept utilization of positioning techniques reliant on these chipsets.
A crowning achievement for our team materialized in our remarkable standing as part of the top 10% of participants in the prestigious "Google Smartphone Decimeter Challenge," conducted by Google in 2020. This accolade is a testament to our collective dedication and competence in the realm of smartphone-based positioning.
September 2021 - Now
GUEST RESEARCHER, GEOSPS UG
In the course of this endeavor, our team achieved the distinction of being chosen as one of the selected projects in the Galileo Masters competition. This recognition was garnered by showcasing our program aimed at enhancing real-time positioning accuracy through smartphone technology. Our accomplishment in securing this position underscores the innovative and impactful nature of our project within the realm of positioning technology.
November 2023 - Now
GIS Analyst, Gam Industrial Company
Since November 2023, I have been working as a GIS Specialist at Gam Industrial Company in Arak. The company specializes in telecommunications towers and power transmission lines with branches in Tehran and Arak, and offers projects on a global scale. In my role as a GIS Specialist, I am responsible for preparing documents related to spatial data and analyzing terrain data used in line design.
I use data such as DEMs, land maps, geology, soil science, Google Earth, etc. to analyze the route of the line and provide the design department with the best route (in terms of soil type, earthwork volume, etc.) for the line design.
Since the design department uses our analyses and pre-processing to provide the tendering company with the price, time required for project completion, type of towers required for the project, etc., the analyses I perform play a significant role in winning tenders for the company and must be used as the basis for calculations in the tendering process. For this reason, performing these types of analyses and delivering information on time in this activity has helped me to provide information with high accuracy and in the shortest possible time.
In fact, participating in such group activities has allowed me to further deepen my involvement in activities related to spatial and terrain data and learn to work with a wider range of products and information related to land, while using all my attention to detail and speed of action to be able to perform the tasks of my department with the best quality to the line design department so that I can play my role in winning the tender in the best possible way.
Once we win a tender, our work starts again, this time in the form of a project. For each tender that turns into a project, we create a WebGIS project and receive daily progress reports from the project experts and update the information in the WebGIS system so that project managers can view the project progress online. This process, due to the need for two-way communication between us and the project experts, has greatly helped me to develop my interpersonal communication, and reporting skills.
March 2023 - Now
Augmented Reality (AR) Mobile-GIS System Developer,
Gam Industrial Company
Recently, I have been tasked with developing a Mobile-GIS system with Augmented Reality (AR) capabilities for use by field experts conducting site visits for project implementation. This project has required me to delve into the concepts and programming languages associated with AR and mobile GIS development. This has significantly enhanced my research, programming, and problem-solving skills.
Currently, I am actively expanding my knowledge of the C# programming language, Unity software, and various tools and frameworks for mobile GIS development.
