I am a doctoral researcher at the Fiber and Particle Engineering Unit at the University of Oulu. My academic background includes a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, followed by two master's degrees. My first master's degree was obtained from Iran University of Science and Technology, specializing in Railway Engineering with a research focus on railway sound-fields. Subsequently, I pursued a second master's degree in Solid State Physics from the same institution, concentrating on the physics of sound and employing Carbon Nanotubes for reinforcing acoustic panels.

Currently, my research endeavors are centered around the application of mine tailings and industrial residues in the production of porcelain and refractory ceramics. This research direction is motivated by the substantial quantity of tailings generated through lithium production from spodumene ore, whereby utilizing these tailings can contribute to the circular economy. Specifically, my work involves the characterization of mine tailings to identify their potential suitability for various applications in industrial and electrical fields.

Given my interdisciplinary educational background combining engineering and physics, I am enthusiastic about translating scientific knowledge to practical applications within my professional pursuits. Consequently, I am particularly interested in employing my expertise in future experimental work and intend to pursue research in the development of nanomaterials to produce porcelain and ceramic materials.
