Field Notes — July 2025
How My Passion for Space Led Me Here
In high school, I spent months immersed in a research project on an image reconstruction algorithm called CHIRP—a method the Event Horizon Telescope used to produce the first photo of a black hole.
I wasn’t part of the team. Just a teenager in Tehran, I found myself captivated by space, science, and the idea that AI and data could help us see the unseen. That blurry, orange ring proved that complexity could become clarity—with enough vision, precision, and silence.
That same curiosity drove me to explore the Mars One colonisation program, which aimed to send civilians to the Red Planet. Although I was too young to qualify and the program eventually dissolved, the question it left behind still guides me:
What kind of world are you building toward?
The Shift: From Curiosity to Purpose
Since then, I’ve earned a degree in digital innovation from Warwick Business School, moved continents, and continued to explore the relationship between technology and environmental sustainability.
My current focus is on using AI for sustainability—not to accelerate consumption, but to reduce the environmental cost of intelligence itself.
Even though I’ve stayed on Earth, that desire to expand horizons has never left me.
The One Who Made My Adventures Possible
My father—a commercial trader, a great man, and an incredible source of strength—passed away not long ago. He funded my education and, more importantly, gave me the confidence to explore, question, and build.
His absence continues to shape my direction. And today, I try to fill that space with impact, not noise.
How Music Has Shaped Me
Through it all, classical guitar has been a constant. I’ve won national awards in Iran, recorded pieces I love, and performed across stages and studios.
But music was never just a skill—it was a way of listening. To timing, to tension, to what exists between the notes.
That’s how I approach everything now.
That’s what systems thinking, strategy, and building is.
This site is where I share that journey—through ideas, experiments, and reflections.
