About

Nazanin Safaei Hashkavaei obtained her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Guilan and M.Sc. in Control Engineering field from Shahid Beheshti University in 2018. In the summer of 2023, she started her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Syracuse University under the supervision of Professor Amit K. Sanyal. As a Ph.D. student, her research field is about robust and stable geometric estimators for single and multi-agent rigid body systems.
