About Me

I was born in 1992 in Hamedan, Iran. From my high school years, I was deeply interested in fundamental questions about the universe. This led me to study Physics at Sharif University of Technology, where I completed my B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Cosmology. Alongside my physics studies, I pursued philosophy and theology seriously. After finishing my Ph.D., I started an M.A. in Philosophy of Science (Science and Religion) at Shahid Beheshti University. Currently, I am a faculty member at the Department of Philosophy of Science at Sharif University of Technology.
