About me:

I have received both my B.Sc. and M.Sc degrees in Materials Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology,Iran in 2010. After graduation, I joined Fooladtechnic International Engineering Company (FIECO) as a full time technical expert in steel processing technologies as well as, working as a part time lecturer at Entekhab University for 5 years before starting my PhD. I have been selected by Erasmus Mundus materials engineering PhD program (DocMase), for doing double degree PhD at Luleå University of Technology (main university) and Saarland University (second university) under supervision of Assc. Prof. Esa Vourinen and Prof. Frank Mücklich, respectively.

Current Research:

My thesis entitled “Microstructure investigation and property development of Advanced High Strength Steels” .This project mainly focused on one of the new heat treatment processes, “quenching and partitioning” (Q&P), in order to fundamental understanding and optimization of the mechanical properties by controlling the microstructure as well as applications of Q&P for welding and hotstamping.
