Bio

Happily born and grown up in Tehran, the capital of Iran, a populated city with around ten million inhabitants, a must-see in March.

I was born female, Muslim and Iranian. In a world being suspicious to me, I have been privileged to be almost always happy, a life enthusiast who had the opportunity to follow her dreams.

Happily received my bachelor degree (University of Tehran (UT)) and master degree (Shahid Beheshti University (SBU)) in Computer Engineering in Iran and completed my PhD at Karlstad University. 

Currently, I am working on algorithmic transparency and usable transparency of privacy-preserving data analytics with a focus on usable differential privacy.
