HELLO and WELCOME to read about me and my research

I am originally from Iran; born and raised in Iran. I have been living in Finland since 2014. I first completed my master’s degree in the field of ‘Computer Science’ at LUT (Lappeenranta University of Technology). The title of my master thesis is: ‘Interactive design thinking portfolio: a tool for user experience designers’. After graduating, in 2018 I joined ‘INTERACT Research Unit’ as a PhD candidate in the field of ‘Information Processing Science’. My research is under the supervision of Marianne Kinnula and Netta Iivari. I also work at the university’s Fab Lab, Fab Lab Oulu, as an instructor. My research is about the intergenerational aspect of digital fabrication and making with children.

RESEARCH INTERESTS:
