Behnoosh Mohammadzadeh

I am an Iranian born/raised who has settled in France (Paris) since 2021. My early path was in mathematics and computer science, until a shift that coincided with my immigration redirected my curiosity toward our place as humans in an increasingly computerized world. That shift eventually led me to Human–Computer Interaction. I defended my PhD in October 2025 at Université Paris-Saclay (LISN) and Sorbonne Université (ISIR). In my research, I looked at how people can influence the way machine learning models behave in context, beyond how they perform on benchmarks. You’ll find more about my thesis in the next section. Outside of research, an everyday interest of mine is finding creative and reflective practices that bring forward the lived experiences of people most affected by harmful ML behaviors. You can check some of my art-science endeavors around these questions in the next-next section. More than just a list of qualifications, I am basically a human being excited to keep learning, whether through personal exploration or with your much-appreciated exchanges. So feel free to drop a line for any inquiry \m/
