Bio

Mohsen Ansari received his M.Sc. degree in computer engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2016. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in computer engineering at Sharif University, Tehran, Iran. He was a visiting researcher in the Chair for Embedded Systems (CES), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, from 2019 to 2021. He is now a member of Embedded Systems Research Laboratory (ESR-LAB)  at the department of computer engineering, Sharif University of Technology. His research interests include the low-power design of embedded systems and multi-/many-core systems with a focus on dependability/reliability.
