About me:

I got my BSc degree from Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) in Naval Architecture (Faculty of Marine Technology) (2003-2007). For my final BSc project, I designed a ships bottom structure and applied a constant hydrodynamic pressure, due to steady motion of a boat over calm water (see the gallery here).

After finishing undergraduate studies, I got admitted into the MSc program in Sharif University of Technology (SUT) and got my degree in Hydromechanics from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. During my MSc, I focused on ocean renewable energy conversion systems. I constructed a scaled model and performed an experimental study on the Wave Energy Converters (WEC). The experimental study was also accompanied by numerical simulations using 2D strip theory simulations. Meanwhile, I formed a team of Naval Architects, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering students and participated in the first remote boat competitions (Tehran). During a 6 months period, we had a lot of fun doing conceptual and detailed desing, hydrostatis, hydrodynamic and power calculations, and finally getting funding for molding and construction (see the gallery here).

In August 2010, I received a fluid mechanics scholarship and attended the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) so I flew to DK and started a job as a research assistant at DTU until in January 2011, I started the PhD. I mainly worked on the Large Eddy Simulation of the turbulent flows with relevance in wind energy, including the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) simulation, wind turbine wakes, and airfoil aerodynamics. I was also involved in some experimental works including two airfoil measurement campaigns: one for lift/drag and pressure measurements and the other for the oil-flow visualizations over a high-lift airfoil.  In 2012, I stayed at the Johns Hopkins University for 3 months, where I developed a new dynamic subgrid-scale (SGS) model. The model was later tested and compared with the other SGS models for channel flow and wind turbine wake computations (see the gallery here). 

After handing-in my PhD thesis, I got employed as a postdoctoral researcher at DTU Department of Wind Energy. Besides continuing my previous works (LES, aerodynamics etc.), I am involved in a project dealing with the safety and risk analysis of wind turbines. We have so far developed a mathematical model for thrown pieces of wind turbines through aerodynamic modeling and we will continue the work to combine the mathematical modeling with some risk analysis tools  (see the gallery here).
