Biography

I have an M.Sc. degree in polymer chemistry from the University of Tehran, Iran, with an "A" GPA (3.67/4). I am a top student in the National and International Olympiad of Chemistry (2014) and the Nationwide University Entrance Exam (2014). Since I finished my Master's Degree in 2017, I have been trying to prepare myself for a Ph.D. position by working as a Laboratory Specialist at PGFP and BHRC - two prestigious companies in Iran. In my M.Sc. project under the supervision of Prof. Hossein Mahdavi, I proposed a membrane with improved performance and anti-fouling properties containing Graphene-oxide and Nano-Chitosan. In addition to my dissertation research, I also worked in diverse areas such as proton exchange membranes for fuel cell application, and synthesis and characterization of MF, UF, and NF membranes (hollow fiber and flat-sheet). The outcome of these works is two published papers in the Journal of Polymer Research.
