Amirhosein Amini

Born and raised in Tehran, Amir moved to Seattle at 23 to pursue his PhD in Fluid Mechanics at the University of Washington (UW). 15 years later, he is now a research scientist and a writer/poet wannabe based in Seattle. As a research scientist, he spends his days trying to understand the sense of touch and skin motion. In the morning and at night, he tries to navigate his way towards becoming a writer and a poet. He is also a co-founder of ANTiPODE, an art organization focused on the immigrant experience, which aims to connect Seattle with other cities through group art exhibitions and live events.
