I am Arash, a PhD candidate at the INET research group at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, working under the supervision of Prof. Stefan Schmid. I am also an associated researcher with PLAMADISO research group at the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society. Previously I was a researcher at the University of Vienna and completed research internships at IST Austria and CUHK Hong Kong.

Throughout the years, my publications gathered 250+ citations, and I have been delighted to be a mentor for more than 15 students from across the world. My teaching experience in advanced theoretical and practical algorithmic concepts is going beyond 10 years, and I have been active in community service to ensure credibility and accessibility of knowledge. I am interested in algorithm design and analysis with applications in networks, distributed systems, and blockchains. My particular focus is on self-adjusting networks. I will be on the job market in 2025/2026 cycle, feel free to reach out to me via my email:
