During my Bachelor of Architecture studies at Shahid Beheshti University (National University of Iran), I became involved in the field of Design Computing and Evidence-based Design. As such, I built on my academic study in Architecture by designing a spatial layout generating software, winning two design competitions and exploring the human – environment interactions, especially the spatial needs of people with sensory integration disorders. As a graduate student of Architecture (Design studies) at the University of Michigan, I am currently studying the cognitive and behavioral aspects of architectural and Urban design. I previously held a Graduate Student Research Assistantship position studying the spatial and social networks involved in organizational innovation at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and I am currently a Graduate Student Research Assistant at the University of Michigan’s Center for Autism and Communications Disorder.
