Some of the software she excels in using is Rhino, Grasshopper, Unreal Engine, and Orange. She also possesses knowledge in Python and Ladybug.

Helia’s undergraduate thesis titled “Pāyak” delved into the topic of energy efficiency methods using professional digital software. She utilized modeling techniques with World Creator and Height Map in a bid to bring energy efficiency to the Maranjab desert’s extreme climate. The Pāyak research seeks to create unique façade detailing, particularly shading systems.

Hybrid machine learning, digital fabrication, and data analysis are some of the other research areas that intrigue Helia.
