  • Currently, I am a student at the University of Windsor, pursuing a PhD of Mechanical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Altenhof.
  • In 2005, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Azad University.

About Me

The undergraduate curriculum in Mechanical Engineering introduced me to a wide variety of subjects, providing me with a strong foundation in the theoretical concepts of this major. Since I was interested in expanding my knowledge, acquiring skills in new technologies and methods, and opening pathways into additional employment opportunities, I applied for a master's degree in Solid Mechanic Engineering at Azad University. In 2006, I got admitted to the MSc program in Solid Mechanic Engineering at Azad University. During the first year, the coursework helped me to obtain a more in-depth understanding of the field. I engaged in research projects, presentations, and report submissions in the second year. In addition, as a Teaching Assistant, I developed pedagogical knowledge and skills. My MSc thesis project, "Experimental and numerical study of in-plane loading of thin-walled tubes," exposed me to new skills in experimental testing and software programs (LS- DYNA). I successfully earned my MSc in 2008 and ranked in the top 10% of students in my class. This two-year graduate program not only made me an expert in the field but also enhanced my critical thinking, analytic abilities, time management, and research skills. In 2009, Azad University of Tuyserkan offered me a Lecturer position. As a researcher who couldn't leave the dynamic atmosphere of the scholastic world and as a potential teacher who was constantly engaged in critical reflection, I accepted the offer. In the beginning, I took "Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education" and " University Teaching Skills" courses to be eligible for teaching. These two mandatory courses increased my knowledge of evaluation methods, testing, and measurement in education. I learned how to motivate and activate students, encourage personal initiative and choose the most suitable teaching style. As a lecturer, I gained a great experience in teaching. I have taught Statics, Strength of Materials, and Design of machine elements courses at the undergraduate level. I believe that it has been an excellent opportunity to provide a great learning experience for a diverse group of students. As a faculty member, I have worked cooperatively and collaboratively with the campus community, including faculty members, employees, students, and others. I have contributed to the field as a researcher by conducting scholarly activities. I received two research grants from the university, conducted research and published three papers in prestigious ISI journals, and presented my research at 20 national and international conferences on Mechanical Engineering. I have valuable experience in optimizing energy absorption in thin-walled aluminum and composite tubes. I am also experienced working with Hopkinson instruments and gas gun testing equipment. In addition, I have significant experience working with the Santam instrument and the Instron testing machine. This machine can obtain the tensile and compressive strength of the specimens, input for LS Dyna software. I also became interested in Metal Matrix Composite after designing and manufacturing diffusion instruments to prepare metal matrix composite productions. As a faculty member, I provided administrative services. In 2011, I was appointed as the head of the Mechanical Engineering department for two years. I was responsible for faculty recruitment and development, faculty evaluation, program development, program review, curriculum development, class schedule planning, etc. In 2013, I was appointed as the "Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs" for three years. In this position, I was the chair of the Academic Affairs committee. I was responsible for planning, developing, organizing, directing, and evaluating academic programs, policies, procedures, and guidelines. These two administrative services enhanced my management skills, such as strategic thinking, planning, communication, decision-making, motivating, and interpersonal skills. Driven by my dedication to sustainable engineering, I decided to pursue a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering overseas. My goal is to expand my expertise and confront fresh challenges in the realm of composite materials. If granted the chance to engage with Long Fiber Thermoplastic (LFT) composite materials during this internship, I am excited to explore industrial-scale manufacturing and design processes. I look forward to collaborating closely with fellow research engineers, anticipating that such collaboration will significantly enhance my skills and knowledge in the field. S
