This thesis provides me with a valuable mechatronics experience, and a good taste of electro-mechanical design, and software programming. I decided to continue my Ph.D. at McGill, and in Electrical Engineering, with a major in Robust control, the favorite topic of interest of  Late Prof. Zames. I enjoyed the teachings of Prof. Belanger, and Prof. Zames during my four-year Ph.D. studies, and I graduated from McGill, in 1997. My postgraduate studies enforced my previous valuable asset of analytical thinking, and self-confidence, in a more applied manner.

I returned to Iran, and started my career as an assistant professor, in the Department of Systems and Control of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at K.N. Toosi University of Technology. I have enjoyed teaching more than 15 courses, supervising about 200 theses, and writing five books, and more than 250 papers from my research and teaching till now. I had the pleasure to meet many Professors and students, and the pleasure of working with many research teams, in my university, and other universities in Tehran (Sharif, Amirkabir, and Petroleum Universities of Technology). After eight years of teaching and research in Iran, I spent my one-year Sabbatical leave at McGill University and enjoyed working with a group of researchers at CIM. In the summer of 2010, I visited ETS University in Montreal and had the pleasure of working with Prof. I. Bonev. In the summer of 2017, I had the chance to visit Concordia University and work with Prof. Wen-Fang Xie. My recent sabbatical leave was hosted by Prof. Mahdi Tavakoli at the University of Alberta in the field of Medical Robotics.

One of my best and most valuable chances in my career was the initiation and the formation of a research center of excellence named Advanced Robotics and Automated Systems (ARAS), whose name fully describes the field of activity, while its acronym (ARAS) is the name of a river in Iran.  Today, the scientific research developed in ARAS is well observed and followed by our national and international partners. The main asset of the research group is its human resources devoted all their time and effort to the advancement of science and technology. This includes the internationally-recognized faculty members, staff, and talented and motivated students enrolled at different undergraduate and graduate levels.
