About Me

I am currently a fourth-year PhD student at the University of Minnesota. I began my PhD at the University of Alberta in Canada and later moved to the University of Minnesota with my PhD supervisor, David Favero. I am interested in whatever relates algebra and topology in a categorical framework. Currently, I am working with David Favero on the Hochschild homology of curved category algebras.

I completed my master's studies in the ALGANT program, spending the first year at the Leiden University in the Netherlands and the second year at the University of Bordeaux in France. Under the supervision of Bruno Kahn I wrote my master's thesis on Voevodsky's motives. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Tehran in Iran in 2019.
