Matin Bagherpour received her bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology (Iran) in 1999 and master's degree in Industrial Engineering from PolyTechnique of Tehran in 2002. She finished her PhD in Industrial Engineering from Tarbiat Modares University (Iran) in May 2008. She has been working as an assistant professor in University of Science and Culture (Iran) since then. Now, she is working as a postdoctoral researcher in Q2S. Her research interests are Optimization (Mathematical Programming, Integer Programming, Meta-Heuristic Algorithms, Combinatorial Optimization), specially optimization of telecommunication networks (Routing, Scheduling, Resource allocation, Pricing, QoS, etc.), and Stochastic programming. PhD Dissertation: Stable energy-efficient multicast routing with mobility prediction for mobile ad hoc networks

• Cost-benefit analysis/pricing model for multicast applications
  • Phase 1: Multipath multicast routing: tree vs. mesh
  • Phase 2: Resource Utilization Optimization for Multicast Requests with Revenue Management

• Multicasting requests can be classified based on the group size, QoS requirement, session duration, etc. For each request type, the amount of resource required to provide its QoS differs. If we can forecast distribution of different requests, we can decide and plan for saving resources for valuable customers.
