Profile
I received my Ph.D. Degree in chemistry and technology of Inorganic materials with honors from Institute of Chemical
Technology (I.C.T) - Prague in Czech Republic and undergraduate degree in Materials Science - Ceramic Engineering from
Iran University of Science and Technology (I.U.S.T), Tehran.
Pursuing of my scientific activities I won several national and international awards and distinctions, including the first prize
of "Junior-Euromat 2004" of the Federation of the European Materials Societies (FEMS), "NRC best performance award" of
Nordic Rheology Society, JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences) postdoctoral research associate Fellowship,
etc.
My vision and expertise not only are focused in chemistry and technology of Nano-Bio materials but also in Business,
Entrepreneurship, philosophy, teaching, nature, human rights and photography.
