University Teaching: 

Since finishing my PhD studies in 2016, I have taught at eight different universities/institutes of Higher Education, in six different countries, on three continents, and in three languages of instruction (English, Spanish, and Persian).

(Oh yes, there's a reason why my friends call me the tourist/nomad of Academia!)

My teaching experience has been at EMBA, MBA, and undergrad levels; in the US, Spain, Iran, France, Netherlands, and the UK. Languages of instruction: English, Spanish, and Persian. In several instances, the high scores that my students gave me in the anonymous end-of-semester teaching evaluation survey, brought me the honor of receiving an Excellence in Teaching acknowledgment letter from the university's (or the department's) Vice-President/Vice-Dean for Education.

List of courses and universities:

I have taught courses on Strategic Management, Technology and Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship, Digital Transformation, Technology Transfer, as well as Organizational Behaviour; at the following institutions (in chronological order) : 

New Jersey Institute of Technology

Academic Service

In addition to regularly reviewing for journals and conferences, contributing to and helping with academic events organization,  I am also on the Executive Team of IAME (Iranian Academy of Management and Economics) and I help connect the Iranian scholars in the diaspora with Iran-based researchers, faculty, and PhD students. The aim is to let the synergies emerge and for everyone involved in the network to build on those synergies by doing collaborations of all kinds. This, eventually and hopefully, leaves a positive and lasting impact on the Iranian academic sphere in Management and Economics, as well as other related disciplines such as Social Sciences.
