I studied Chemical Engineering in Tehran, Iran at Amirkabir University of Technology and at University of Alberta, Canada. After that I received my second Master of Science from HEC Lausanne in Actuarial Sciences. I am as confused about it as you probably are reading this. After that I worked for the Social Protection Department - ILO, where we calculated the cost of providing Social security benefits to low-income countries. Afterwards I worked as an independant tutor and artist in Boston where I collaborated on art-related technological projects at MIT. I then moved to Germany where I shortly collaborated as an artist with Max Planck Institute for Informatics and then worked as a project manager for the start-up project Oraclase.

I am interested in fine arts, literature, physical and mental wellbeing. I speak English, French, German, and Farsi.
