My current research focuses on the development of advanced computational frameworks for the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis (OA), with a particular emphasis on leveraging stochastic finite element (FE) models. These models aim to enhance the understanding of tissue mechanics and joint behavior under different loading conditions, enabling more accurate and personalized treatments for individuals suffering from OA. By integrating FE models, I aim to account for variability in patient-specific conditions, improving the predictive capabilities and clinical relevance of these models. Additionally, I am interested in the application of these computational techniques to support the development of medical devices for OA treatment, including implant design and surgical planning. My research combines advanced engineering simulations with clinical applications to bridge the gap between engineering innovations and real-world medical challenges, ultimately improving patient outcomes in orthopedic care.

Outside of my academic and professional life, I am deeply passionate about technology, particularly innovations at the intersection of engineering and medicine, and their potential to enhance the quality of life. I also enjoy staying active through Pilates, tennis, and swimming, offering both physical challenge and relaxation. In my spare time, I love reading literature and Persian poetry, as well as watching movies to unwind and connect with diverse cultures and ideas.
