About Me
I am an environmental biotechnologist with a Master's degree in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology from the University of Tehran, ranked first in Iran by U.S. News & World Report. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering from the same university, graduating in the top 10% of my class. Through the Brilliant Talent program, I was admitted to my Master's program without an entrance exam.
My work focuses on using biological systems to remove contaminants from the environment. I have published peer-reviewed research, completed specialized courses and workshops at leading universities, and built extensive hands-on laboratory experience. This includes work with plants, bacterial cultures, DNA extraction, and PCR.
I currently work as a Tender Analyst specializing in water and gas analyzers and Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS), preparing technical proposals for environmental pollution monitoring projects.
I am seeking PhD opportunities where I can contribute to research on sustainable solutions for environmental pollution.
