Bio
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (2002), followed by a Master of Science in Powertrain Systems from K. N. Toosi University of Technology in Tehran, where I focused on vehicle design and production. My early career in the automotive industry centered around the OEM production of bi-fuel vehicles, utilizing natural gas as a low-carbon alternative. As part of this work, I completed specialized training on natural gas conversion kit design with OMVL and BRC of Italy.
Subsequently, I transitioned into engine design, receiving on-the-job training in the UK and Europe. Over oight years, I played a key role in the development of a new heavy-duty engine family. My passion for innovation and clean energy technologies led me to pursue a Ph.D., where my research focused on the design and experimental evaluation of a lean-burn natural gas engine using pre-chamber ignition.
Following the completion of my Ph.D., I joined the University of Alberta as a Postdoctoral Fellow. There, I continued my research in the field of hydrogen dual-fuel combustion control and contributed to the design and setup of an advanced engine test cell to support experimental work in this area.
