I hold an MSc in Photonics from the University of Tabriz, where I graduated with an A grade. My academic focus has been on photonic sensor simulations, particularly methane detection. In my master’s thesis, I modified the Mach-Zehnder interferometer to simplify the production of methane gas detection sensors, a project I completed using Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. I also have extensive experience with simulation tools such as Ansys Lumerical, COMSOL multiphysics ,Python and javascript.
Two weeks before my MSc graduation, I was honored to be accepted as a PhD candidate at IPHT by Dr. Deckert. However, in my country, completing essential military service is mandatory before immigration, so I had to fulfill two years of military service, which canceled my enrollment.In addition, I have faced personal challenges. My ADHD, undiagnosed until the middle of my BSc degree in computer hardware engineering, significantly affected my performance. However, once I started medication, my concentration improved drastically, and I became one of the top students in my class. After completing my BSc, I shifted my focus to photonics, driven by my passion for mathematics and physics.
