My personal mission is to contribute to the development of our sustainable future world meaningfully. Therefore, I am looking for a fitting position in which I can positively impact world citizens’ life by utilizing my proven consulting and research capabilities, organizational aptitude, and project management abilities, together with my influential social skills.

I obtained a double master's degree in Sustainable Urban Mobility Transition from Aalto University in Helsinki and Eindhoven University of Technology, where I gained expertise in analyzing transportation data, conducting research, and designing transportation systems that promote sustainable and equitable mobility. 

I have also completed a master's degree in Urban Planning and Design from Tehran, Iran, where I focused on the effect of Urban Planning and Design on Public Health, which was awarded both the top research and the top researcher in the Department of Urban Planning at the University. In my thesis, I have worked with GIS to develop and maintain geospatial databases, design and produce maps and visualizations.

During my studies, I also completed an internship at Goudappel, where I evaluated the factors encouraging (e-)bike riders to use modern parking facilities, and conducted a qualitative structured literature study as well as a quantitative research study by collecting the opinions of bike riders survey and analyzing the results using SPSS.

Currently, I am working as a research assistant in the transport and mobility department at Panteia, where my key responsibilities include conducting qualitative and quantitative research, preparing proposals for tenders, providing assistance with project management, and developing sustainable transportation plans for cities and implementing new mobility solutions for private clients. 

Previously, I also did a project work with a Danish company, Skipit, which is on a mission to redefine travel and allow everyone to travel locally. I initially drafted a strategy using my EIT entrepreneurship knowledge and, subsequently, developed a 3D model with SketchUp to illustrate how the local bike shops in Helsinki can benefit from renting their own bike using a central app. I, then, presented this strategy to the stakeholders and fully convinced them about the benefits that they can get. Eventually, to verify the concept, I contacted almost all the local bike shops in the Helsinki metropolitan area to onboard them with the app.
