// 02 : About_Me

Bijan Mehralizadeh

I’m Bijan Mehralizadeh, a first‑year Computer Science PhD student at George Washington University with a background in mechatronics engineering. I’ve tried my hand at being a “full‑stack engineer” (a term a lab mate coined for someone who wants to build everything), but right now I’m laying the groundwork for research on making autonomous systems—drones, robots, IoT devices—more resilient and explainable. It’s early days, but I’m focused on how these machines can handle failures or attacks without falling apart. When I’m not in class or the lab, you’ll find me taking gadgets apart, gaming, or hiking as an outdoor nerd—blissfully forgetting all the bugs I left behind.
