Bio:
I am a multidisciplinary researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney. Prior to this, I was involved in research, teaching, and executive roles at the University of Tehran for over nine years.
Currently, I am a non-resident researcher at the Cyberspace Research Policy Center. I also serve in various capacities, including as Executive Director of the International Association of Communication in Healthcare, an Executive Committee member of the UNESCO Chair on Cyberspace & Culture (UCCC), Co-Chair of the Ethics Committee of the Linguistic Society of America, and Head of the Academic Integrity Surveys Working Group within the European Network for Academic Integrity.
While my primary focus lies in the interdisciplinary social sciences, my research spans multiple disciplines. My current work involves developing a novel multimodal framework for the critical discourse analysis of political content in digital media.
My contributions extend across fields such as medical sciences, business, linguistics, political science, and cultural studies. I founded the International Association of Communication in Healthcare within the Universal Scientific Education and Research Network at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, motivated by the belief that improved communication is key to reducing healthcare costs and enhancing patient experiences. I am also an advocate for optimizing rehabilitation efforts for individuals with spinal cord injuries and cancer.
In addition to my research, I collaborate with UNESCO, the UNESCO Media and Information Literacy Alliance, the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and other stakeholders to promote media and information literacy (MIL). My work in this area aims to combat disinformation, foster trust, enhance social cohesion, improve quality of life, and support the achievement of sustainable development goals.
I bring extensive experience in both academic administration and executive management. I have served as CEO of Titan Inc., a business consulting company based in Kuala Lumpur, and as a Business Executive for Arash Plastic Ltd.
