Education
I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Azad and Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, respectively. I started my Ph.D. at University of Wyoming in Spring 2012..

Teaching Experience
In addition to research responsibilities, I teach introduction to composites in university of Wyoming. I have been teaching assistant since 2008 during which I have taught design of experiment, Mechanics of material I and Mechanics of material II in three different universities.

Research Interests
My research interests and expertise lie in the areas of solid mechanics, stochastic finite element method, nanoindentation and image analysis. While, my earlier research focus was on nano and micro testing of polymers, my current research is focused on the reliability prediction of fiber reinforced polymers. I am working on correlating the variability in microstructure to scattering of mechanical properties at macroscale. To that end, I am creating a microstructural model with multiscale defects and isolating the effect of each defect to monitor their influences on composite structural reliability. Modeling the real rather than the ideal, and random instead of deterministic microstructures, enables simulation of random failures similar to those observed experimentally.

Future Goal
I am interested to lead a research group and do fundamental and practical researches in the area of composite material.

Hobbies and Interests
I am a big fan of hiking and camping. I like to play chess when I am inside.
