Summary

Physicist with a B.Sc. in Engineering Physics (Alzahra University) and an M.Sc. in Laser Optics (Shahid Beheshti University), with research experience bridging laser physics and neuroscience. My master’s project involved simulating plasmonic heating of gold nanoparticles to stimulate neurons using COMSOL Multiphysics. My bachelor’s project on Giant Magneto Impedance in amorphous ribbons was presented at an international conference. I also have experience teaching math, physics, and English to students. Currently based in Copenhagen, I am eager to advance my research career through a PhD, leveraging my multidisciplinary background and strong academic foundation.

Work History

Thermoplasmonic for Dermatological Therapy

2022 - Current

Using COMSOL Multiphysics I designed a device consisting of gold nanoislands deposited on a silica glass substrate. When this device comes in contact with the skin and is exposed to light of a specific wavelength, it creates a plasmonic effect which leads to a thermal effect that can be used for thermotherapy. I have collected the results and am currently preparing the manuscript to report the findings.

Master Project

2020 - 2022

Simulation of the plasmonic heating effect on stimulating neurons in COMSOL multiphysics,
• Electromagnetic and heat transfer interfaces for thermoplasmonic effect were simulated
• Hodgkin–Huxley model was used to investigate the temperature increase effect
on neuron stimulation.

GMI Researcher

2017 - 2019

As a Senior student, I was working on a project in the laboratory that measured the Giant Magneto Impedance of an amorphous ribbon affected in an AC magnetic field. I completely set up the experiment and linked devices to the computer using LabView.
My project resulted in an article with the title "Magnetoimpedance Enhancement in Amorphous Ribbon via Deposition of Magnetic Graphene-Iron Oxide Nanocomposite" published in 8th International Conference on Nanostructures (ICNS8)
