Biography
I am a PhD student in Materials Engineering, and my work has mostly been focused on practical projects, solving industrial problems, and developing real products rather than purely theoretical topics. Since my early student years, I have been interested in understanding how a scientific idea can turn into a real process or product, and not remain only as a paper or a report.
In my research activities, I have registered seven inventions and have been selected twice as a “Top Researcher”. A significant part of my work has been related to powder metallurgy and adhesive technologies. In these areas, I have optimized and brought two technologies to the stage of commercialization for the first time in Iran: one related to processes and products in powder metallurgy and another focused on the development of a specialized adhesive. These experiences have allowed me to deal directly with the real challenges that exist between an idea and industrial production.
Alongside research, I have also been active in industry and entrepreneurship, and I have founded two companies: one focused on the production of a specialized adhesive, and the other on manufacturing metal components using Metal Injection Molding (MIM). These experiences have helped me to look beyond the purely technical aspects and pay attention to topics such as quality, cost, market needs, and teamwork.
Outside of work and academia, an important part of my life is connected to nature and the mountains. I enjoy long hikes and mountaineering, and I see these experiences as a way to practice patience, planning, and dealing with pressure. Overall, I see myself as someone moving back and forth between research, industry, and nature, trying to take small but concrete and measurable steps in each of these areas.
