I’m now actively looking for PhD and research positions that allow me to contribute to interdisciplinary research in my areas of interest: especially the history of philosophy, ethics and political philosophy, and late medieval/early modern philosophy and intellectual history.
To all the professors who wondered why I didn't reply to their emails, I hope I can tell them about the current state of my country, #IRAN, which my people and I are going through: MORE THAN 330 hours of internet blackout and THOUSANDS who have been brutally killed.
#IranMassacare
⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been under a national internet blackout for two full weeks. At hour 336, connectivity levels continue to flatline with only a slight rise at the backbone supplying regime-whitelisted networks, while a few users are now able to tunnel to the outside world.

To all the professors who wondered why I didn't replied their emails in the past 8 days, I hope I could tell them about the current state of my country which my family and I are going through: more than 210 HOURS of the internet blackout, and at least 12000 of my people who got kiled brutally.
⚠️ Update: At 180 hours, the total internet blackout in #Iran now exceeds the core duration of the 2019 shutdown, and there is still no partial or regional restoration.

in 2019, it was only after connectivity was restored that the scale of the brutal crackdown became known.

As I'm looking for a PhD opportunity, crossing out all the US universities' names from my list despite all they offer wasn't that easy as I thought. My friend and I just removed their names and won't apply again, only because they don't accept Iranian students.

This would be our last try so far:

🎓 Master's done!

Dozens of late nights, two great summer internships, and finally one thesis. I’m happy to share that I’ve completed my Master of Arts in Philosophy of Science at Amirkabir University of Technology - Tehran Polytechnic!
