Profile
PhD in Chemical Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST), Tehran, Iran.
Research interests
My research interests primarily focus on colloid and interface science, colloidal stability, and soft matter, with particular emphasis on the preparation, stabilization, and characterization of polymer-based colloidal systems. My research explores the physicochemical properties, interfacial interactions, and stability of aqueous polymer suspensions, as well as the relationships between formulation, microstructure, and colloidal behavior.
My research experience also extends to polymer science and engineering, nanomaterials, and membrane technology.
My broader research interests include soft matter physics, colloidal dispersions, interfacial phenomena, polymer stabilization, rheology, nanomaterials, membrane separation processes, and advanced functional materials, with potential applications in chemical engineering and materials science.
