Curriculum Vitae

Maryam Nezami earned her B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Control from Shiraz University of Technology in 2015. Following that, she obtained her M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Control from the same university in 2017. In 2019, she joined the research group of Professor Dr. Georg Schildbach and is currently working as a researcher and Ph.D. candidate at the Autonomous Systems Lab (ASL) at the Institute of Electrical Engineering in Medicine (IME) at Universität zu Lübeck (UzL) in Lübeck, Germany.
