Here are some quick facts about me:
In my free time when I'm not doing research, you can often find me at the gym exercising, playing videogames, playing electric guitar, watching movies and TV series, shopping, or walking in parks feeding squirrels.
I am a huge fan of Rock music. I grew up listening to Metallica and I lived with Evanescence songs. My favorite band of all time is Linkin Park though. I know all of their lyrics and own a copy of all of their albums, singles, main tracks, sidetracks, bonus tracks, everything! The absolute worst day of my life has been the day I read the news of Chester's (band's lead vocalist) suicide...
I got to see evanescence up close in their concert on December 9th 2022 in Chicago. I headbanged so hard all night that I had a sore neck for a whole week!
In a parallel world, I'm either an astronaut or a songwriter (or maybe both!).
The best book I've read is "The Forty Rules of Love: A Novel of Rumi".
Most of the movies I like are from sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, and action genres. I also enjoy mystery and comedy movies from time to time. My favorite movie of all time is "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I've watched them around 100 times by now and I enjoyed it every single time.
I played Counter Strike 1.6 online for about ten years. I was ranked among the top five players in a 2011 national event.
I really enjoy nature. I love camping or walking around in parks or by the lake. I also love traveling and exploring new places. I'll probably choose the camper life someday and travel all around the world.
I love animals! I've had many pets all my life from chickens, pigeons, and turtles to cats.
I love colognes! I currently have around 20 different colognes and I cannot resist buying more.
I love food! I have tried many different cuisines over the past years but believe me, nothing beats Persian foods! Just watch this YouTube playlist by Mark Wiens and find out why.
