Short curriculum vitae

I hold a Bachelor's degree in English Translation and completed my Master's in Translation Studies at the Islamic Azad University of Isfahan. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jennifer Schluer.

From 2013 to 2022, I served as a university lecturer at IAUKH University. Between 2013 and 2016, I translated and compiled four books. Additionally, I conducted research on topics such as multilingualism and bilingualism in Iran, as well as self-directed learning and its correlation with English language achievements. I authored seven articles on a variety of topics, including code-switching, native and non-native speakers of Persian, corpus linguistics, and translation. These articles were published in journals worldwide.

In 2018, I was part of a four-member team in the RoboCup Iran Open Competitions, where I supported my team in developing a teaching-assistant humanoid robot. This project involved collaborative efforts in coding, robotics, and language learning.
