Naser Dehghan embarked on his academic journey delving into the realm of Human Factors & Ergonomics during the pursuit of his master degree at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 2010. This distinguished institution holds a prominent position in Iran. During this academic phase, Naser's involvement in research deepened significantly, leading to a more profound exploration of pertinent subjects. His passion for health sciences and ergonomics fueled his involvement in numerous research projects throughout his Ph.D. studies. Over this period, he made significant contributions, authoring numerous articles in esteemed ergonomics journals, a feat that earned him several accolades, including recognition as the top researcher from 2013 to 2018 during his Ph.D. years. 

In December 2023, Naser successfully concluded his postdoctoral fellowship with a focus on human factors and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at Université de Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada. This experience further enriched his expertise in the field, solidifying his standing as a dedicated researcher and academic professional.
