Biography
I have obtained my qualifications, B.Sc. in the field of chemical engineering and M.Sc., and Ph.D., in the field of polymer engineering. I graduated with a master’s degree from Tarbiat Modares University, one of the top-notch universities in Iran, in 2014. Since I was really interested in doing scientific research, I studied for my Ph.D. at Tarbiat Modares University from 2014-2021. During these years, I received considerable experience and knowledge in the field of polymer engineering. Also, I have been working at Behieneh Poushesh Jam Company from 2014 up to 2022 as a R&D manager and production line supervisor. Additionally, as an academic and industrial person, I am interested in collaborating with the industry to employ my knowledge in practice. My postdoctoral fellow project is related to polymer processing-based recyclable polymer under the co-supervision of Dr. Mohammad Arjmand and Dr. Abbas Milani. As a result, this project aims to recycle plastics. In other words, this project is going to be part of the climate change solution by recycling plastics that are carbon negative, non-toxic, and biodegradable, with engineered grade quality.
