Education
- IUST Ph. D., Architecture, 18.25 2003 – 2009 Activities and Societies: Parallel to my PhD studies, I was actively engaged in professional architectural work and won several competitions. My doctoral dissertation, focusing on the use of hybrid spaces through virtual architecture in urban environments to promote democratic development—a topic that was largely unexplored at the time—was recognized as an outstanding thesis. During the same period, I taught sketching, architectural design, and architectural representation courses for five years at both Iran University of Science and Technology and Urmia University. At that time, admission to the PhD program in Architecture required a competitive entrance exam, and only three candidates were selected annually. Among more than 3,000 applicants, I achieved the top rank.
- Sahand University of Technology Master, ARCHITECTURE, 17.23 2001 – 2003 During my master’s studies, I consistently excelled in architectural design competitions, achieving first place five times in national inter-university contests. Additionally, I secured first place in the Tabriz Urban Parks competition as part of a collaborative team with faculty members. In the national PhD entrance exam, I ranked first in both theory and design. Graduating at the top of my class, I was formally recognized as an exceptional talent and outstanding student.
