Education

Flinders university
2019 - 2023Doctor of philosophy - phd materials science, chemistry, nanotechnology,Activities and Societies: Community engagement and volunteered in organizing the HDR Engineering and Science Students’ conference at Flinders University in 2021. I was a volunteer Farsi language teacher from 2020 to 2022. I am playing Volleyball, and Chess. I am reading and writing. A dedicated and accomplished researcher with a track record of ground-breaking achievements in materials science and nanotechnology. I was honoured with the highly competitive and prestigious Wine Australia research award from Dr Tony Jordan OAM, focusing on photocatalytic winery wastewater treatment.

I was honoured with the highly competitive and prestigious Wine Australia research award from Dr Tony Jordan OAM, focusing on photocatalytic winery wastewater treatment. I independently synthesised Au nanoclusters for the first time in Australia marking a pioneering milestone in Australia. Proficient in the development of mesoporous semiconductors and photocatalytic systems. Adept in utilizing a range of advanced analytical techniques such as XPS, XRD, SEM, TGA, BET, EDS, UV-Vis, FTIR, DRS etc. to characterize materials and explore their sustainability for vital applications like water treatment and water splitting reactions. Skilled in monitoring and supervising an honour student researcher, fostering collaboration in the synthesis of efficient semiconductors and photocatalytic systems. Data Analysis (RSM) was employed in my projects during my PhD. Show less

University of isfahan
2002 - 2008Bachelor of applied science - basc chemistryActivities and Societies: The executive director of Iran’s first festival of comic poetry and stories. Head of Literature and Culture Center at Isfahan University. Third place among the young storytellers of Isfahan province. I loved organic chemistry when I was studying BSc. I trained a lot for working in different labs and for working with UV, FTIR, GC, HPLC, and so on.

Ulm university
2017 - 2017Visiting researcher polymer, catalysis, nanocluster synthesis, electrochemically polymerization and hydrogen productionActivities and Societies: Travel to different countries and cities in Europe during the holiday Project title: Design of the electrochemical systems to fabricate conducting polymer/molecular-metal oxide-based nano-composites as photo/electro catalysts for photo electrochemical energy conversion application.

Shahid beheshti university
2011 - 2013Master of science - ms organic chemistry 19.05Activities and Societies: Volleyball, Chess, Reading and Writing I ranked 99 among about 20000 contestants in the Iran Entrance Examination of MSc. I was working on the synthesis of drug intermediates and my thesis title was “Green synthesis of new phthalate derivatives”. I graduated as the best student ranked 1st amongst all admitted students for the MSc degree (2013).
