Shahab Jabbari's Research

I completed my masters degree in computing science under the supervision of Dr. Robert Holte and Dr. Sandra Zilles
in September 2010.
I worked as a research assistant for AICML from October 2010 to June 2011 and for Dr. Yutaka Yasui's research group at the school of public health at university of Alberta from July 2011 to June 2012.
I have a bachelor degree in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology.
I co-organized Heuristic Search/Planning Reading/Discussion Group from June 2010 to June 2012.
