Biography
I started my engineering career in Iran where I obtained my B.Sc. degree in Industrial engineering. During my undergraduate studies, I enhanced my knowledge in different domains such as Operational Research, Mathematical Modeling, and Optimization. To have a deeper insight into such research areas, I completed my M.Sc. degree in Industrial Engineering with focusing on designing and optimizing the biofuel supply chain considering the economic, environmental, and social aspects, as my Master thesis. I joined the Composites Research Network (CRN) – Okanagan on September 2020 and I am currently PhD student working on interdisciplinary research on the intersection of the advanced supply chain, simulation, and data-driven optimization for bio-composite manufacturing under co-supervision of Dr. Abbas Milani and Dr. Taraneh Sowlati .
