Graduated from Sharif University of Technology (Iran’s top engineering school), I worked in the general industry for an extended period prior to joining LMS. Already accomplished handling various scale projects in roles of design, technical support, project engineering and project management both within Australia and internationally, I decided to challenge myself by returning to research, a deep interest of mine.
Translating my previous experience and insights to my research via a thorough understanding of physical problems and efficient time management, to achieve set goals. At LMS, I set out to understand the underlying mechanisms of acoustophoresis, with a special focus on the secondary interaction between particles, enabling Lab-on-Chip platforms for particle/cell manipulation within microfluidic systems exploiting the contactless nature of acoustic forces. This understanding paved the way for an innovative approach of nanoparticle collection and purification with great potential in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. I like to listen to authentic music from around the globe, watching and playing football (soccer in Australia). Besides, I enjoy spending time with family, going camping and roughing it for few days whenever I find the time.
