Ahmad (Sasan) Golchin
PhD Student
I joined Boston University in September 2017 as a Computer Science
Ph.D. fellow, and now I'm a member of the Systems Lab and conduct
my research/teaching duties under the advisement of Professor Rich West.
I was born and raised in Iran and did my undergrads in Computer Engineering there.
I moved to Italy and did my M.Sc. in CS with the focus of Computer Architecture
and Embedded Systems at Politecnico di Milano.
Coming from an engineering background, I'm passionate about
building systems from scratch and preferably in a scientifically sound way.
I have built my own programming language, compiler, web server, and operating system.
My research interests include the design of real-time systems
on modern embedded systems focusing on cyber-physical applications
such as driverless cars and autonomous flight systems.
