About Me
Pirouz is a generative design technologist and theorist actively researching the utilization of simulation-driven complexity sciences (generative sciences), digital twinning, and mathematical modelling for contributing to sustainable urban development. He is developing mathematical, computational, and gamified methods for augmented urban planning, urban design, and participatory housing development.
