Dr. Agharebparast's research explores stochastic network calculus applications for wireless performance evaluation, cross-layer design in fading channels, and QoS provisioning. His work bridges theoretical frameworks like min-plus algebra with practical challenges in 4G handover privacy, bandwidth allocation in WiMAX, and traffic shaping for unreliable channels. These investigations address critical needs in next-generation mobile infrastructure where latency guarantees and resource efficiency are paramount.

His teaching encompasses core engineering subjects including Circuit Analysis (ELEC 201), Operating Systems (CPEN 331), Computer Networking (ELEC 331, CPEN 400N), and multiple design studio courses (ELEC 291, CPEN 291). This portfolio demonstrates deep engagement with both foundational theory and hands-on implementation across electrical and computer engineering curricula.
