She completed her PhD thesis « Regimes of Urban Transformation in Tehran : The Politics of Planning Urban Development in the 20th Century Iran » in 2019 at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Before joining the Development Planning Unit (DPU) of University College of London in 2017, she has taught and worked on a number of research projects at Delft University of Technology and the University of Westminster.
She has specialized over the years in the fields of architecture, urban design and planning.

Her current research project examines the complex interplay between state, space and politics in Tehran.
