I am an industrial PhD candidate and Marie Curie scholarship awardee of the EnTrust Horizon Europe project, employed at Södra Forestry Association while pursuing my doctoral studies at Linnaeus University. I have my Master's in Information Technology Management from AlZahra University in Tehran and my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering and Information Technology from Tabriz University.
Research
Having studied both Management and IT, I have interdisciplinary skills, spanning across electronic commerce, social media analysis, business management, and data analytics fields. With over five years of experience in international academic and industrial domains, I am strategically positioned within one of Sweden’s pivotal industries, dedicated to advancing research.
My role at Södra offers a unique vantage point to study and contribute to the dynamic business ecosystems of the forestry sector. Currently delving into community-based business models within agricultural and forestry data ecosystems, my research aims to facilitate value creation for an extensive value chain that encompasses several stakeholders, spanning vast forested regions, innovating the current business landscape, and connecting individuals and communities to leverage the power of data for potential value generation and maximisation.
I seek to enhance the benefit for Sweden’s family and member-owned forestry community, thereby identifying new business arenas and revenue streams within the interconnected data-driven forestry ecosystems. As the tenth doctoral student within the EnTrust project, I am the only candidate focusing primarily on the datafication of forestry business sectors. My current scholarly activities encompass conducting a systematic literature review pertinent to my field of study, while also contributing to collaborative academic publications and the deliverables of EnTrust’s work packages.
