I was born in Kerman, Iran, and was introduced to music from an early age by my father, who played the santoor, a traditional Iranian instrument. Consequently, the santoor became the first instrument I learned to play.
Later on, I spent a few years learning to play the piano. I also picked up other Iranian traditional instruments such as the Daf and Tanboor. When I turned 18, I relocated to Shiraz, where I pursued my first bachelor's degree in Control Engineering at Shiraz University. During my time there, I had the opportunity to receive piano lessons from Hadi Owji and learn music composition and performance basics from Ali Radman. While in Shiraz, I, along with fellow students and especially Poria Khashei, established an amateur university chamber orchestra. I conducted and performed with this orchestra throughout my studies at Shiraz University and been active member of music association.
Subsequently, I moved to the Netherlands to pursue another bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at TU Delft.
As a person, I'm deeply intrigued by the philosophy behind things rather than their labels. For example, in music, I'm more focused on experiencing the sound and understanding how to communicate and interpret information, rather than getting caught up in terminology and formalities. This perspective extends to my approach to math and engineering as well. I believe that each subject, and indeed reality itself, holds its own unique qualities and insights, and I'm passionate about gaining knowledge in this holistic way.
