Education
PhD Mechanical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
MS Mechanical Engineering, Southern Illinois University
BS Mechanical Engineering, University of Tehran

I have been an educator since January 2018, teaching a wide range of courses at institutions such as Wentworth Institute of Technology, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 
Northeastern University, and the University of Houston.

I enjoy teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It allows me to interact with the students. My teaching portfolio includes undergraduate and graduate level courses in broad engineering areas spanning thermal-fluid sciences, applied mechanics, and vibration and control.

I am deeply committed to empowering students to thrive academically and professionally by cultivating critical and creative thinking skills. My goal is to equip each student with a strong foundation and the confidence to succeed in their careers.
