About me

I am Pantea Karimi, a Ph.D. student within the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. I am advised by Mohammad Alizadeh in the Networking and Mobile Systems Group.

I am focusing on efficient heuristic analyzers at Microsoft Research and robust and reliable applications using LLMs advised by Hari Balakrishnan and Mohammad Alizadeh.

Previously, I’ve been interested in enhancing the quality of real-time video applications. I have worked on video congestion control algorithms and improving video conferencing applications using advanced computer vision and video compression techniques.

I received my M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 2023, working with Mohammad Alizadeh. I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering at the Sharif University of Technology, where I worked with Mohammad Ali Maddah-Ali on Decentralized Systems and Blockchains. I’ve worked with Bryan Ford in an internship on Locality preserving Blockchains at EPFL.
