Vahid joined our PhD program in 2007. His research efforts are driven by the recognition of the transformative potential of ICT, and his academic goals are motivated by the need for research and education on issues related to these technological changes. In particular, his research interests lie in the areas of information systems adoption and use, e-health, and crypto-economics (e.g., Blockchain). Vahid was a PhD student participant in the 30th ICIS Doctoral Consortium in Phoenix, Arizona (2009), a member of the School of Business Student Research Ethics Committee (SBSREC), and the President and a founding member of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) Student Chapter of the DeGroote School of Business (DeGroote AIS).
