improving the life.
EDUCATION
Master of Physical Chemistry
2006-2008 Shahroud University Shahroud, Iran
Thesis: investigation of structure and thermodynamic some of the E and Z isomers from
compounds result of reaction cycloadduct between 1, 3-cyclopentadien and malimide
with different substitutions by quantum mechanics calculation Abinitio and DFT in gas
phase.
Bachelor of Science, Chemistry
1994-1998 Zanjan University Zanjan, Iran
WORK EXPEIENCE
December 2012 -present North Carolina State University
Visitor Research Assistant in Analytical Chemistry Raleigh, NC
I am responsible to research on a project about chiral separation by new method,
developed and improved the method in different systems according to our research group.
I identify the isolated molecules by HPLC, GC and CE analysis. I consider and compare
some results which are obtained by some analytical technic like Karl Fischer titration,
FTIR spectroscopy, PH metric and etc.
June 2009-August 2012 Pune University
Research Scientist in Computational Chemistry Pune, India
I took responsibility for work in a research group. Our research was in computational an d
theoretical chemistry field in some biomolecules such as Host-Guest interaction in α, β
and γ Cyclodexterine, Reaction pathway in Phosphodiester Hydrolysis (DNA and RNA).
I design molecules by chemistry software (ArgusLab, Mopac, Pcmodel, ChemDraw,
Gaussview, Univix) and carried out calculation by Gaussian software. I analyzed results
and compared with experiment results. I was able to develop methods with collaboration
of some experimental research group.
April 2001-May 2008 Rava Baft Co.
Plant Manager Semnan, Iran
This company was a textile industry. We produced Polyester yarn, dye different kind of
yarns, design and weave textile. I managed financial circulation in factory. I was
responsible to supervise, suggest and implement all key areas related to employee’s
health and physical safety. I had overall responsibility to meet production and established
standards to ensure optimum human resource efficiency. I research on ways to improve
department productions. Coordinating and formalizing process with various departments
to ensure in-time quality delivery is done on all work orders. Management of assembling
and initiating of new process was also my responsibility.
May 1998 – July 2000 Kabir Safety Glass Co.
Quality Control Manager Semnan, Iran
This company was safety glass industry. I was QC manager. I reported and analyzed raw
materials and products quality to institute of standards & industrial research of Iran
(ISIRI). I managed storage of raw material, final products and dispatching final products.
I created and taught training classes for various technical and soft skills that helped in
development of team spirit. I was ISO system management representative and consultant
and auditor. I advised a balanced product mix to ensure optimum production and also I
research on ways to improve department production.
