BOOX Story: How Academic & Tech Leader Dr. Lina Mohjazi Simplifies Her Academic Workflow

Dr. Lina Mohjazi is an associate professor at the University of Glasgow, COO at Bina Networks, and an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. As a higher education professional with 15+ years leading engineering programs, she specializes in 5G/6G wireless communications systems.

Like many academics, Dr. Mohjazi handles most of her work on a laptop alongside some paper-based tasks. Her daily routine used to require long hours glued to conventional screens, leaving her with constant eye strain. To ease the screen fatigue, she recently shifted most of her workflow to BOOX Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi, a 10.3″ monochrome ePaper notebook.

She now uses it for writing to-do lists, organizing her thoughts, connecting ideas, and planning projects. Her first impression? “A comfortable, paper-like experience while keeping everything digital and organized.”

How Does BOOX ePaper Elevate an Academic’s Daily Workflow?

#1_ Eye-Friendly Academic Reading & Document Reviewing

During long reading sessions, Dr. Mohjazi notes that the ePaper display is easier on the eyes and “closer to reading and annotating printed paper,” making it ideal for deep, focused academic work.

A big part of her routine involves reviewing student research papers and manuscripts to provide detailed feedback. She appreciates the BOOX tablet’s smooth, tactile writing experience. “It makes adding comments, highlighting sections, and writing notes feel natural and intuitive, almost like working directly on paper,” she adds.

#2_ Effective Note-Taking with Free Template Hub

To map out complex ideas and plans, Dr. Mohjazi relies on BOOX’s built-in Notes app and its Template Hub.

“I really like the hierarchy of the notes and the variety of templates available, as I can choose the format that best suits what I am planning,” she explains. This helps her visualize her ideas and keep them clear, organized, and easy to revisit.

#3_ Effortless Note Management & File Security

Spanning academia and commercial leadership, Dr. Mohjazi creates a large number of notes for research, teaching, meetings, and project management. On the BOOX tablet, she uses different folders and categories to keep everything organized, with the option to set individual passwords for sensitive notebooks. That way, all her work stays in one place, instead of scattered in multiple paper notebooks.

With her notes consolidated, information is much easier and faster to find. She can easily revisit past discussions and keep track of her thoughts and priorities. 

“It has definitely helped make my daily workflow more organized and efficient,”she says.

How Does the Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi Support Academic Work on the Go?

#1_ Low-Light Readability

Academic work often extends beyond a brightly lit office. Dr. Mohjazi frequently works in dimly lit environments, particularly during evening hours or while traveling. As a model equipped with an adjustable dual-tone front light, the Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi allows her to easily slide and fine-tune the screen brightness to a comfortable level.

“It makes reading in low-light conditions much more pleasant and reduces the eye strain I would normally experience with a traditional screen,” she notes.

#2_ Lightweight Mobility

Dr. Mohjazi describes the Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi as lightweight and portable, as she uses it to prepare for presentations and meetings on the go.

“It almost feels like carrying my paper notes, but in a much lighter and more convenient format,” she explains.

Now she can easily attend conferences without carrying heavy paper documents, and quickly reference notes before or during presentations.

What Is the Core Value of an ePaper Device for Professionals?

For Dr. Mohjazi, the core value of the Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi lies in bridging paper comfort with digital efficiency.

“Its lightweight design and comfortable ePaper screen make it very easy to carry and use throughout the day,” she reflects. “It combines the simplicity and comfort of paper with the convenience of having everything digitally organized in one place.”
