I am an Associate Professor in Functional Materials and Energy Devices in the Institute for Materials Discovery, the faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University College London (UCL). I graduated from Sharif University of Technology in 2012 with a BSc (Materials Science and Engineering) and I received my MSc in Materials Science and Engineering in 2014 from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. I completed my PhD in Physics at Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge receiving the 2018 Semiconductor Physics Thesis Prize from Institute of Physics. I established my research group in UCL in 2020, with a focus on material and electronic properties of emerging semiconductors including halide perovskites for optoelectronic and electrochemical devices for low-cost electronics applications (e.g., solar-photovoltaics, lighting) and energy systems enabling carbon capture and production of solar fuels.
