Community Engagement & Outreach
At the beginning of my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to join the outreach team at Biruni Observatory. As part of this team, I helped organize events such as stargazing nights, public lectures, and guided tours, showcasing the observatory's facilities and telescopes. This experience allowed me to share my passion for astronomy, help others appreciate the beauty of the universe, and discover how fulfilling it is to inspire curiosity and wonder in others. As a graduate student now, I’m deeply passionate about continuing to contribute to outreach events. If you have any ideas or projects in mind, I’d be more than happy to hear them and get involved!
Staryab
I am a co-manager and author at Staryab, a monthly astrophysical literature website in Farsi, run by Iranian astronomers from around the world. Staryab aims to bridge the gap between professional astronomy and those at the start of their journey—undergraduate students in physics and astronomy, passionate high school students, and amateur astronomers. Each month, we feature a paper and present it in a clear, accessible format for our readers. These articles are prepared by Iranian professional astronomers, both within Iran and abroad. If you’re interested in contributing to Staryab, don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’d love to hear from you!

I am a core member of AURORA, the Astronomy Union for Reading, Outreach, and Research Activities. I am actively involved in organizing events and initiatives to create a vibrant and engaging community for graduate students in astronomy at UCR and beyond. Currently, we are reaching out to scientists—including faculty, postdocs, and especially graduate students—from around the world to invite them to share their exciting research. Our goal is to foster discussions and explore different research fields together. If you’re interested in sharing your work and engaging in discussions with us at UCR, please get in touch! We would love to have you join us!
