Welcome

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Muhlenberg College. My teaching and research interests lie in the interstices of Natural Language Processing and Human-Computer Interaction, primarily focusing on computer- and AI-mediated practices in everyday life.

I was born and raised in Mashhad, Iran's second largest city and the capital of Razavi Khorasan Province. The region, historically part of the ancient Silk Road, is the birthplace of influential figures like the poet Ferdowsi, mathematician Omar Khayyam, and polymath Avicenna. Today, I live in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with my wife.
