School1999
High school diploma, Mathematics & Physics
High school · Isfahan, Iran
Where it started: mathematics and physics in Isfahan.
The road so far
Journey
From mathematics in Isfahan, through fourteen years of seismic field work, to computer vision in Sweden. Every stop added something the next one needed.
Start
1999
School2000
School2000
Pre-university, Mathematics
Pre-university centre · Isfahan, Iran
One more year of mathematics before the national university entrance exam.
2000
University2000 – 2004
BSc Petroleum Exploration Engineering
Petroleum University of Technology ↗ · Ahvaz, Iran
Geology, geophysics and the physics of waves travelling through rock.
2005
Work2005 – 2019
Seismic Data Acquisition QC Supervisor, junior to senior
National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC) ↗ · Khuzestan, Iran
Fourteen years in the field: designing and quality-checking 2D and 3D land seismic surveys, where every recording had to be clean before it was worth anything.
2009
University2009 – 2012
MSc Geophysics (Seismology)
Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran ↗ · Tehran, Iran
A master's degree alongside field work. My thesis used prestack seismic inversion to characterise a petroleum reservoir: turning recorded waves into rock properties.
2019
University2019 – 2021
MSc Statistics & Machine Learning
Linköping University ↗ · Linköping, Sweden
A move to Sweden and a new language for the same curiosity: statistics, machine learning, and a thesis with Ericsson Research on anomaly detection and causal inference in 5G networks.
2022
Work2022 – today
AI Lead & Computer Vision Engineer
Arboair AB ↗ · Linköping, Sweden
Teaching machines to read forests from drone and aerial imagery: segmentation, geospatial ML, and leading the company's AI work.
