About me
I was born in 1993 in Sari, Iran. In 2013, I started my bachelor's studies in Applied Chemistry at the University of Tabriz, Iran, where I worked (as an undergraduate student researcher) on high-performance supercapacitors based on chitosan/Fe-Co-graphene oxide-manganese oxide-MWCNT/polyaniline. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in 2016, I continued my studies with a master's degree in Physical Chemistry at K. N. Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, Iran where I graduated in 2019 with a thesis on the interaction of ZnS nanosheets and nanotubes with amino acids using advanced sampling techniques and free energy calculations. In 2020, I started to work as a Ph.D. student at Stockholm University in the group of Professor Alexander Lyubartsev.
Teaching assistant in the course Physical chemistry: quantum mechanics and spectroscopy (KZ4020)
Teaching assistant in the course Chemical Bonding (KZ4012)
My research focuses on modeling the nanotoxicity of inorganic nanomaterials regarding their physicochemical properties such as the shape and coating of nanomaterials and their interactions with biomolecules. This is part of a NanoSolveIT project (funding by the European Union Horizon 2020 Programme (H2020)) which aims to find a set of descriptors to predict nanomaterials properties, functionality, and hazard by developing and integrating advanced nanoinformatics methods and tools.
