[edit] Other

• I also studied graduate level architecture under Marian Moffet, under whom I carried out studies of historical houses in the city of Kashan, and traditional water sources in the city of Qazvin, and a survey of the 14th century Goharshad mosque, all in Iran. Two papers (presented to Society of Architectural Historians) authored by me were the result of this.
