I am a graduated Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo, and a research associate working with Prof. Maurice Dusseault. My research area in Geomechanics is developing Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) to access a reliable, sustainable, renewable green energy in order to reduce GHG emission and help remote areas to access cheap and green energy. Currently, I am supervising one Ph.D. student, and twelve undergrads at University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, and two master students at K.N. Toosi University in Iran for their thesis.
My research topics are:
1- Geomechanics
2- Non-destructive testing
3- Geophysics
4- Geothermal energy
5- Mechatronics
My Master’s research was about the Rock Physics in Carbonate reservoir, which was under the supervision of Prof. Hossein Memarian at the University of Tehran. Based on my studies, a rock physics model was developed for Fahlyian Formation, which is one of the most important carbonate oil reservoirs in Iran.
My Undergrad thesis was about the Petrophysical interpretation of Siri-C offshore Oil field in the southwest of Iran.
I have almost 2 years experience as a research assistant in University of Tehran and 8 years industrial work experiences in oil and gas industry. During these years, I worked in different countries as China, Russia. I worked four years at National Iranian Oil Company, as a researcher in Geological and Geochemical research and studies department under the supervision of Prof. Mohammad Ghavidel-Syooki and almost four years as an up-stream manager in private oil company in Iran. I was the manager of five research projects and I supervised three master theses in University of Tehran.
Outside of professional life, I am a tennis coach and in a training of TaekWondo as my hobby. I like traveling with my family and explore new experiences.
