Iman Shames' Homepage
I am currently a Professor of Mechatronics at the School of Engineering at the Australian National University. Previously, I had been an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the University of Melbourne from 2014 to 2020 and a Senior Lecturer and a McKenzie fellow at the same department from 2012 to 2014 and before that I was an ACCESS Postdoctoral Researcher at the ACCESS Linnaeus Centre, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. I received my B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Shiraz University in 2006, and the Ph.D. degree in engineering and computer science from the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia in 2011.
