EDUCATION

AZAD UNIVERSITY, IRAN

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) November 2012 Prepared thesis on design of progressive die for rotor plate ISFAHAN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (IUT), IRAN

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) December 2015 Prepared thesis on Topology optimization of forming press frames Work Samples

Here are some work samples that I have done throughout my career as a Mechanical Design Engineer.

Not to mention, regarding to the companies that I worked for, I have been assigned to work on the varied projects from totally different areas of Mechanical Engineering. However, working in various industries has given me a precious asset which is experience. WIRE WINDING MACHINE

Designed and developed a spontaneous Wire Winding Machine being capable of applying variable tensile tensions to the wire while the whole machine is turning around the fixed frame. This machine is a vital equipment to produce wire wound frames used in the heavy presses

(100,000-Ton press) like Hot Isostatic Pressure.
