Sahar Asadi

I am a Ph.D. student at the AASS Research Centre, Mobile Robotics and Olfaction Lab, since January 2009. I started my research at AASS on Gas Distribution Modelling and Sensor Planning as part of the DIADEM project. Before, I finished my Master studies in Computer Science from University of Tehran, Iran, in 2008. My main research was on Pattern Finding and Alignment of Biological Network. I received my Bachelor degree from the same university in 2006. During my Bachelor studies, my main research was on Distributed AI.

Research Interests

I’m interested in utilizing Statistical Learning methods to study Olfaction problems such as Gas Distribution Modelling and Multi-Objective Sensor Planning. My general field of interests are:

Machine Olfaction,
Machine Learning methods for Gas Distribution Modelling and Multi-Objective Sensor Planning,
Computer Vision,
Learning methods for Computational Biology, especially Pattern Finding in Biological Networks,
Distributed Artificial Intelligence.

Brief CV

I was born in 1983, Tehran, Iran. My high school and secondary school years passed in Farzanegan, which is part of NODET organization, where I became interested in experimental physics and complex systems. In 2001, I started my B.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Tehran. There, I joined to the Soccer Simulation 3D team of our university and spent three years on research in the field of Distributed AI methods. After finishing my B.Sc., I went for an internship to AGKI Lab in University of Koblenz, Germany in 2006 working on rescue agent simulation. In the same year, I joined to M.Sc. program in Computer Science at the University of Tehran. My research was focused on Computational Biology, including pattern finding and alignment of biological networks.

Since 2007, I was actively involved in the Executive, Technical and Organizing committees of Soccer Simulation League in both RoboCup Federation and Iranian National Committee of RoboCup.
