Sajad Sepehri is a multidisciplinary researcher, educator, and AI-driven edtech innovator. Currently a Visiting Fellow at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam’s Sociology Department, he specializes in educational epistemology, social learning, and cognitive theory. He also serves as the educational strategist at the Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities (ISSH), one of the only tuition-free, online master’s-level universities offering higher education to marginalized and deprived populations.

Sajad is the founder of LeraLink, an AI-enhanced, multilingual knowledge exchange platform that breaks down learning into highly personalized, bite-sized units—making education as engaging as social media, as entertaining as streaming platforms, and as rigorous as world-class academia. A hyperpolyglot, he designs systems deeply rooted in multilingual accessibility and cognitive efficiency, drawing from global frameworks, including UNESCO’s AI in education initiatives.

A trained musician with a background in performing arts, Sepehri brings a humanistic and aesthetic sensibility to the design of learning systems. He consults globally with early-stage startups and nonprofit organizations, helping them become impactful and inclusive. His work centers around the belief that education must be radically reimagined—not only to include those left behind, but to be shaped by them.
