Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Elnaz—a scientist by training, a product thinker by nature, and someone who enjoys transforming complex ideas into practical solutions.

My work sits at the intersection of healthcare, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, data platforms, and innovation. Whether I’m designing digital health products, building research infrastructure, developing AI-enabled platforms, or helping early-stage companies shape new technologies, I’m driven by the same question: How can we turn knowledge into real-world impact?

My journey began in healthcare. After studying Dentistry and Cellular & Molecular Biology at the University of Tehran, I practiced as a dentist for four years while developing a growing fascination with neuroscience and human behavior. That curiosity led me to Canada, where I completed my Master’s degree in Neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge, studying decision-making and social cognition, followed by graduate research at McGill University focusing on chronic pain, neuroimaging, and brain health.

Looking back, I realize that neuroscience was never just about understanding the brain. It taught me how to approach complex problems, ask better questions, analyze uncertainty, and design systematic solutions. Those skills eventually became the foundation of my work far beyond academia.

Over the past several years, my career has evolved from conducting research to building products, platforms, and innovation ecosystems.

I’ve had the opportunity to work across startups, research institutes, and international organizations, helping multidisciplinary teams transform scientific ideas into technologies that people can actually use. My work has ranged from AI-powered software and digital health platforms to research infrastructure, data governance, open science initiatives, commercialization strategies, and product management.

One thing has become increasingly clear throughout this journey: I don’t see myself as belonging to a single discipline.

Instead, I enjoy working where disciplines meet.

I thrive in environments where researchers, engineers, designers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and business leaders need someone who can understand each perspective, connect the dots, and help move ambitious ideas from concept to implementation.

What I Build

Although every project is different, they often share a common theme: creating systems that make complex information more useful, accessible, and actionable.

Healthcare & Digital Health

Designing AI-enabled digital health solutions, wearable technology platforms, recovery intelligence systems, and healthcare products that improve decision-making and user experiences.

Data Platforms

Designing scalable data architectures, clinical data platforms, metadata frameworks, interoperable systems, and AI-ready infrastructures that transform fragmented information into trusted, usable knowledge.

Research Infrastructure

Building tools, standards, and workflows that improve research reproducibility, data organization, collaboration, and open science.

Artificial Intelligence

Developing AI-powered products including recommendation systems, intelligent search, personalization engines, intelligent automation, and decision-support technologies that combine machine learning with human-centered design.

Product Strategy & Commercialization

Helping organizations transform ideas into products through product strategy, customer discovery, roadmap development, commercialization planning, and cross-functional collaboration.

How I Work

One lesson I’ve learned throughout my career is that successful products rarely emerge from technology alone. They emerge when people with different expertise work toward a shared vision.

Much of my work involves acting as the bridge between disciplines—translating scientific concepts into product strategies, aligning business objectives with technical implementation, and helping multidisciplinary teams navigate ambiguity with clarity.

Whether I’m defining product roadmaps, designing platform architectures, coordinating cross-functional teams, or exploring new opportunities, I enjoy bringing structure to complexity while keeping users and impact at the center of every decision.

I believe the best products are built when curiosity meets execution, when scientific thinking meets business strategy, and when innovation is guided by a genuine understanding of people’s needs.

Beyond Work

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring creativity in many forms. Music, choreography, visual arts, fashion design, and photography all provide different ways of understanding people and expressing ideas.

I’m also passionate about kickboxing—a reminder that resilience, discipline, and continuous learning are just as valuable outside the workplace as they are within it.

Curiosity has always been the common thread connecting everything I do, whether I’m studying the brain, designing a digital product, or learning an entirely new skill.

Let’s Build Something Meaningful

I believe the most exciting innovations happen when science, technology, and human creativity come together.

If you’re building healthcare technologies, AI-enabled products, research infrastructure, digital platforms, or ambitious ideas that aim to create meaningful impact, I’d love to connect and explore how we might collaborate.
