in the real world.
I am a PhD student in computational cognitive science at Institute for Cognitive & Brain Sciences (ICBS) at Shahid Beheshti University (SBU) in Tehran, Iran. I'm currently working on game theoretic methods in cognitive science that focuses on cognitive mechanisms involved in prediction of cooperative behavior in social situations.
Based on my educational background, my approach is multi-disciplinary and I'll try to synthesize different aspects of nature investigations, such as computational, experimental and philosophical in my researches. As a researcher in cognitive science, I'm interested in learning from a broad range of fields, with a special focuses on Social Cognition, NeuroPhilosophy, NeuroEthics, NeuroAesthetics, NeuroEconomics, Human-Computer Interaction, and especially Human Reasoning and Human Consciousness.
Furthermore, I've always involved myself in the market and business. Over the years, I've experienced various activities in different companies, from FPGA programming to preparing technical documentation for broadcasting systems, as well as leading e-commerce and digital marketing teams in startup companies. I'm also currently supervising digital marketing teams, and working as business development manager in a full service marketing and advertising agency.
