My research focuses on modeling viable catalysts for direct ethanol fuel cells by means of molecular modeling and I work in Professor Deskins’ lab. I did my undergraduate studies at University of Tehran, Iran and my bachelor project was the application of metallic nanoparticles in asphaltene adsorption. Unlike my Ph.D. research, my undergrad project was merely experimental. I joined WPI at 2013 and from then I am doing theoretical work by means of Density Functional Theory.
