About me

I earned my Bachelor's in Optometry from Shahid Beheshti Medical University in Iran. After spending about four years working as an optometrist in clinics, I developed a keen interest in research, especially in vision science. This led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Cognitive Science, where I focused on visual processing in neurodevelopmental disorders. With my clinical and research background in visual processing, I embarked on a new path as a PhD student in the Visual Optics Group. Outside of my academic life, I love cooking and trying out new cuisines, and I enjoy crafting, particularly working with felt and embroidery.
