About
Neda, a fashion designer, model, published poet and PhD student moved to Melbourne in 2005 on a scholarship to do her PhD in chemistry at RMIT, after having completed her master’s of textile engineering in Iran. She has also launched a fledgling modeling career, often wearing her own designs.
Neda’s passions are fashion and science - a stereotype-busting combination at a time when the clothing choices of Muslim women, especially the face and body-covering burqa, are the subject of intense debate.
Her latest research paper was featured as a ‘hot paper’ in the prestigious peer reviewed international journal of Royal Society of Chemistry, London. She said enjoyed both her rigorous scientific work and glamorous modeling life.
