I am a Research Associate at the City Futures Research Centre (CFRC), School of Built Environment, UNSW Sydney. I completed my PhD in transport and land-use at the Research Centre for Integrated Transport Innovation (rCITI), School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UNSW Sydney, in 2024. I earned both a BSc and an MSc in Industrial Engineering (Systems Optimization) from Sharif University of Technology, Iran, in 2016 and 2018, respectively. My research explores the nexus of transport and land-use, focusing on developing behavioral models to understand and promote urban sustainability. Driven by a passion for the transformative power of data analysis, data science, and statistics, my work integrates the art of data visualization to effectively communicate complex insights.
