PhD Research Focus:
“Interactive Data Visualization in Scientific Communication: Bridging the Gap Between Experts and Stakeholders”
As a PhD student at Georgia State University, my primary research explores how interactive data visualization can enhance scientific communication. My work investigates how dynamic visual tools can bridge the gap between technical experts and non-expert stakeholders, improving the accessibility and comprehension of complex data. By evaluating these tools’ effectiveness in fostering engagement, understanding, and informed decision-making, I aim to contribute to the development of inclusive and impactful communication strategies in scientific and academic contexts.
Master’s Research:
1. “Unsilencing and Laying Bare: A Comparative Study of Mother to Mother by Sindiwe Magona and Things I’ve Been Silent About by Nafisi”
o Master’s Thesis, Georgia State University, 2024.
This thesis analyzed the themes of silence, voice, and identity in post-apartheid South Africa and post-revolutionary Iran, examining how Magona and Nafisi used narratives to address historical and cultural trauma.
2. “The Relationship between Literary Appreciation and Literary Translation Performance of Translation Students”
o Master’s Thesis, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran, 2014.
This research explored the connection between literary appreciation and translation performance, focusing on the factors influencing students’ ability to translate literary works successfully.
Future Research Goals:
• To develop frameworks for evaluating the effectiveness of interactive visualizations in conveying scientific concepts.
• To investigate the role of multimodal tools in improving technical communication for interdisciplinary and public audiences.
• To expand the use of interactive data visualization techniques in digital pedagogy and public engagement.
