Research assistant to Dr. Bushra Abbasi · IUST

• Develop a multimodal research platform connecting study design, experiment execution, recording, signal review, analysis and evidence provenance.
• Implement Python/LSL EEG streaming; conduct ongoing EEG–VR research covering setup, 64-channel recording, signal review and analysis.

System author and designer · Generative architectural design software · Independent academic project

• Developed an editable environment where people, tool-using AI and algorithms work on a shared design state, with housing as its initial application.
• Integrated generation, evaluation, direct editing and branching to support iterative exploration of alternative design states.
• Defined the system architecture, spatial rules and evaluation criteria, and directed AI-assisted implementation.

Robotic assembly research · Vernacular timber fieldwork and computational assembly study

• Surveyed timber structures in Alam Kola, documenting their construction through field photographs, drawings and structural models.
• Developed Python-based robotic assembly software and simulation from documented members, joints and assembly dependencies.

Designer and parametric modeller · Harakat Festival, IUST

Designed and parametrically modelled a full-scale timber-and-thread pavilion; prepared CNC files and collaborated on fabrication and on-site assembly.

Design collaboration with Dr. Abbaszadeh and Dr. Tafti · Tehran

Developed architectural concepts and digital models, carried out site analysis, and produced 3D-printed study models for a commissioned municipal museum.

Construction-site intern

Documented construction progress and maintained site checklists, relating architectural drawings to on-site execution.

Architectural design intern

Produced digital models and project documentation; surveyed existing conditions in Tehran’s historic Naseri urban fabric.

Independent 3D-printing services

Prepared models, sliced files and produced FDM prints for external projects.

Bachelor’s degree in Architecture

Thesis: Lunar research station · Supervisor: Dr. Morteza Rahbar

Allameh Helli 1, Tehran

Secondary education · NODET / SAMPAD

Taught university students practical AI applications in architectural visualisation and design workflows.

Taught concept development and architectural form to students in grades 7–8; prepared exercises translating words, feelings and music into spatial ideas and miniature-brick models.

Architecture Scientific Association, IUST

• Co-hosted and moderated an English-language conversation with Juhani Pallasmaa at IUST (June 2026).
• Contributed to academic events and competitions through ideation, planning, logistics and spatial setup.
• Helped develop the brief and programme for NaRavayat, a student design competition at IUST (September 2026).
• Led planning and logistics for an educational architecture trip to Shiraz with a small organizing team.
