My academic background:

I graduated at the end of summer 2008 from Sharif University of Technology in Iran with a degree of Master of Science in structural engineering. Following this, I applied for postgraduate research study (PhD) and was successful in gaining a place in the well-established Structures and Fire Expert Group of the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester.

In April 2009, I started my four years PhD research on “Simplified Thermal and Structural Analysis Methods for Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Studs in Wall Panels Exposed to Fire from One Side” under the supervision of Professor Y. C. Wang.

In December 2013, I started my two years Post-Doctoral Fellow at University of Coimbra under supervision of Professor Luis Simoes da Silva.

Currently, I am Adjunct Assistant Professor at Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering at University of Coimbra and Research Chancellor and academic advisor at Iranian Society of Structural Engineering and member of Tehran Construction Engineering Organisation and Chartered Engineer since 2009.
