Behnoosh Mohammadzadeh

I am an Iranian born/raised who has settled in France (Paris) since 2021. I did Mathematics and Computer Engineering for much of my early adulthood and completed a Master’s in Machine Learning, yet this eventually made me more curious about our place as humans in this increasingly computerized world. That curiosity led me to Human–Computer Interaction. I defended my PhD in October 2025 at Université Paris-Saclay (LISN) and Sorbonne Université (ISIR). In my thesis, I looked at how people can, through interaction, influence the way ML models behave in context. 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. Besides this list of qualifications, I love learning random things, whether through personal exploration or through much-appreciated exchanges. So feel free to drop a line for any inquiry \m/
