He had been a lecturer in Azad University (2007-2008) and member of the board of "Architecture and Urbanism (A/U)" magazine in Iran. Following his interest in Visionary Architecture and Virtual Environments he joined Hyperbody, a contemporary research and design group at the TU Delft in 2011 as a PhD researcher. The on-going research is focused on understanding the effects of information frameworks driving real-time interactive environments within the virtual domain and the emergent qualitative and quantitative data sets which they embody as a knowledge model for enhancing creativity within contemporary design processes. Emphasizing on real-time interactive, immersive Virtual environments, within which an emergent spatial pattern can dynamically evolve in time with respect to user interactions, a variety of spatially intriguing concepts such as: Multiple dimensions, Dematerialization, Infinite depth, Continuous change, Multiple scales etc. can be experimented with. These concepts and their visualization can render cognition and perception based studies a new meaning.
