Experience

Research Assistant Dec 2021 – Feb 2023

• Synthesized modified magnetic graphene oxide to develop a PVDF-based mixed matrix membrane, enhancing its properties for utilization in a membrane reactor to produce biodiesel.

• Conducted extensive research on the properties of magnetic graphene oxide, final catalyst, and PVDF mixed matrix membrane, as well as the final product (biodiesel), employing advanced analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) Quantify where possible.

• Optimized the process parameters for biodiesel production in the membrane reactor utilizing the response surface methodology (RSM) technique, resulting in significant enhancements in the efficiency and selectivity of the membrane reactor.

• Authored a research paper, currently under review for publication in a leading scientific journal, detailing the synthesis process, experimental methods, and study results. Iran University of Science and Technology Tehran, IR Teacher’s Assistant Feb 2022 – Jun 2022

• Assisted the professor as a Teacher's Assistant for the Application of Mathematics in Engineering course, providing guidance and support to students, grading assignments and exams, and assisting in the course material preparation.

• Demonstrated strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills in working with students and faculty members to ensure effective delivery of the course material. BEPCO Color Qom, IR
