About me:
I am an Assistant Professor of Physics at Yazd University, affiliated with the Atomic and Molecular Physics group. My research activities are focused on optics, lasers, and spectroscopy, with particular interests in nonlinear optics, molecular physics, laboratory astrophysics, and laser-based applications in science and technology. My work aims to understand fundamental light–matter interactions and apply advanced optical techniques to the investigation and development of materials and photonic systems.
I received my Ph.D. in Physics from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) and Leiden University, where I conducted research as a doctoral candidate and guest researcher. My doctoral dissertation, “Cavity Ring-Down Laser Spectroscopy of Carbon-Chain Molecules,” focused on high-resolution spectroscopic investigations of carbon-based molecular species and their relevance to astrophysical environments. Under the supervision of Prof. Wim Ubachs, Prof. Harold Linnartz, and Dr. Dongfeng Zhao, my research contributed to connecting laboratory spectroscopy with astronomical observations, particularly in the study of diffuse interstellar bands.
My current research combines laser spectroscopy, nonlinear optical phenomena, and advanced material characterization techniques to explore the optical properties of complex materials. I investigate nonlinear light–matter interactions in natural, biological, and hybrid materials, with applications in nonlinear photonics, optical sensing, laser protection, and sustainable photonic technologies. In addition, I apply spectroscopic and synchrotron-based methods for the structural and chemical characterization of advanced materials, biological systems, and heritage-related samples.
Through interdisciplinary research at the interface of physics, photonics, materials science, and spectroscopy, my goal is to develop a deeper understanding of optical phenomena and contribute to innovative solutions in emerging areas of laser science and technology.
