I am an assistant professor of philosophy at the School of Analytic Philosophy at the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), Tehran, Iran. Before joining IPM, I got my Ph.D. and M.A. from Sharif University of Technology (SUT) in philosophy of science in 2020 and 2015, respectively. I also got my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Tehran Polytechnic.
I primarily work on the philosophy of normativity. I am especially interested in exploring the normativity of mind and meaning and its implications for various philosophical problems. My research lies at the intersection of the philosophy of mind, (meta-)epistemology, meta-ethics, and philosophy of language. My areas of interest include philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, and normative ethics. Currently, I supervise a research project at IPM on the epistemology of inquiry (zetetics). You may find more information about this project here.
I spend my leisure time with my family, watching movies and playing video games. I married my wife in 2017 and we have two fantastic children; Zahra and Ali.
You may download the draft of my papers on my Academia webpage.
