Life

Bouban was born in Kurdistan and grew up in Tehran. At the age of eight, she played the santur, but later took up the oud. She spent her high school years at Farzanegan High School in Tehran and graduated from the University of Tehran with a degree in architecture. While studying architecture at the university, she became interested in the subject of acoustics and chose the design of acoustic halls for rehearsing and performing Iranian music and compiling a plan for the Tehran Conservatory of Music as the subject of her master's thesis. In 2009, Boban received a doctorate in art research from Al-Zahra University. Her doctoral dissertation entitled "The Common Foundation of Rhythm in Iranian Instrumental Music and Persian Language" (supervised by Omid Tabibzadeh and advised by Hossein Alizadeh and Zahra Rahbarnia) is about the relationship between weight in official Persian language and traditional music.

gollark: Given:- smaller process node (easier to add more stuff, increase clock)- faster RAM- faster IO- simultaneous multithreading- other generic IPC improvements- probably bigger or at least faster cache- higher clocksit's inevitable.
gollark: I'd say, in fact, that a modern dual core would beat it.
gollark: Perhaps a 4-core CPU with outdated everything is slow.
