I am pleased to announce that I successfully defended my master's thesis on Tuesday, December 10. My presentation focused on the partition functions of 3D asymptotically AdS quantum gravity and the valuable insights derived from them (

The presentation was delivered in Persian, and I am happy to report that the session went smoothly. I managed my time effectively, maintained a clear flow of ideas, and even lightened the atmosphere with a few improvised jokes. The committee evaluated my defense as "Excellent," a recognition that I deeply appreciate.
Following the session, I encouraged attendees to provide feedback not only on my defense but also on my overall performance and demeanor throughout the process. Their constructive criticism and reflections are invaluable for my continued growth.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those who supported me throughout this journey. Special thanks to Ahmad Moradpouri, Mostafa Ghasemi, and Niloofar Vardian, whose motivation and encouragement kept me going during challenging times. I am especially grateful to Zeynab Ayoubi and Shaghayegh Yavari for their unwavering support in maintaining my mental well-being.
I am also thankful for the thoughtful gifts from Zeynab Ayoubi, Haniyeh Malaki, and Shahrzad Barzegar—your kindness meant a great deal to me. I would like to give a special mention to Ali Talashan, who generously helped me during my presentation, dedicating an hour of his time to ensure I was well-prepared.
My heartfelt thanks go to my dear friends Parsa, Kuroush, and Behrad, who attended the online session. I also extend my gratitude to all the attendees who contributed to the vibrancy of the session with their presence.
Finally, I want to acknowledge the invaluable role of my defense committee, which included Prof. Faraji, Prof. Khosravi, and Prof. Baghram. I am sincerely thankful to all of them for their thoughtful questions and feedback, even though I had hoped our discussion would extend beyond the foundational aspects of quantum gravity. I must also express my regret that Prof. Arfaei was unable to attend the session, as I had eagerly anticipated his participation.
