Born and raised in Tehran, Iran, I've always been captivated by the night sky. My passion for astronomy began in high school, fueled by countless amateur observing sessions in the vast plains and deserts near Qom, Kashan, and Delijan. This passion led me to pursue astronomy, earning my Bachelor's in Physics from Tabriz University and my Master's in Gravitation and Cosmology from Tehran University, where I studied cosmic singularities.

After completing my Master's, I moved to the US to pursue my PhD at University of Connecticut. My dissertation explored the inner environments of quasars using reverberation mapping. Following my Ph.D. in 2021, I joined the Space Telescope Science Institute as a postdoctoral researcher, contributing to the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph reduction pipeline.

As an Eberly Postdoctoral Fellow at Penn State University, I continue to investigate active galactic nuclei using reverberation mapping. I'm particularly interested in intensive, multi-wavelength studies and large-scale quasar surveys to better understand the intricate relationship between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies.

When I'm not immersed in research, I enjoy traveling, learning new languages, photography, cooking, and (video & board) gaming.
