Scientist, professor, and coach

My story

[Draft] I grew up in Tehran and studied electrical and computer engineering at the University of Tehran, then earned my MSc at Sharif University of Technology. My PhD at Michigan State University and postdoctoral work at the University of Pittsburgh focused on one question: how can we read the body’s signals to keep people healthy?

After academia I joined the R&D group of a leading medical technology company as a data scientist, building machine learning models for patient monitoring. Today I’m an Assistant Professor at National University in San Diego.

Why I coach

As a teacher and mentor I saw the same pattern again and again: talented people stall not because they lack ability, but because they lack a clear goal, a system, and feedback. Coaching lets me bring the tools of science to people’s everyday goals.

My approach

Measure, plan, iterate. We set a goal you can measure, design a system that fits your life, track a few signals that matter, and adjust every week based on what the data tells us.
