What does TESLAVINCI mean?

A name for a way of thinking across design, engineering and human learning.

Different Fields. One Mind. One Language: Innovation.

Mojtaba Bigdeli Shamloo

Two sources of inspiration

The name draws on invention and systems thinking associated with Tesla, and curiosity across science, art, observation and engineering associated with da Vinci. This is a metaphor, not a comparison of historical standing.

Psychology and learning

In Bigdeli’s narrative, the study of mind and learning adds another dimension. A behavioral problem can prompt an analytical breakdown, while engineering experience can inspire questions about human performance.

Connecting ideas is a beginning

Interdisciplinary connections can generate hypotheses. An appealing idea still needs a clear question, measurable outcomes and tests that could challenge it before it becomes reliable knowledge.

An identity, not a qualification

TESLAVINCI is not an academic credential or an endorsement by a scientific institution. It expresses curiosity about connections that may not be obvious at first.
