More:
I was born in "Oroumieh", one of the most
beautiful and famous city in north-west of Iran. You can
find incomparable scenes, beautiful lake, lovely nature, hospitable
and pleasant people in this cultural city. I went to school when I
was 6 years old. My interest in science dates back to my years in
high school, where I excelled in Physics, Chemistry, and
Mathematics. I was amazed by the scientific approaches of looking at
the world around us. As I grew my interest and knowledge in
physical sciences, I pursued my education toward a Mechanical
Engineering degree in my hometown, Oroumieh, upon graduation from
high school.
My educational background, marked by several
accomplishments, including first rank of the class throughout high
school, undergraduate and graduate schools, clearly shows my
interest and aptitude in the natural sciences. Since enrolling in
the Mechanical Engineering program at Urmia University, I have
always tried to maintain a well-balanced blend of practice and
theory, by excelling in my coursework on the one hand, and involving
in various engineering projects on the other. Examples of such
projects during my undergraduate are, computer code developing to
analyze water supply networks, numerical simulation of heat transfer
phenomena through heat pipes and optimization of installation method
in PC. Also, during this career, I have had two major teaching
experiences: I served as a teaching assistant to professor Mirzaee
in "Statics" course and to professor Rezazadeh in "Engineering
Mathematics". Because of these experiences, I learned how to
organize my points and help students with their problems. My final
B.Sc. project was "Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer and
Fluid Flow around a CPU cooled with Heat Pipe and studying different
position of CPU to reach Optimum Performance". Through this
project, I gained useful knowledge on porous media, two phase flow
theories and CFD.
Growing passionate about being an accomplished
researcher and recognizing the importance of a postgraduate
education in doing so, I enrolled in the master program of
Mechanical Engineering in the field of Energy Conversion at Sharif
University of Technology (SUT). This was particularly an exciting
time in my life, where I had the opportunity to join the most
competitive technical school in the country, conduct an applied
research on the heat transfer in automotive cooling system, and on
top of that, being recognized by AIRIC (Automotive Industries
Research and Innovation Center). For my academic accomplishments, I
was awarded a fellowship from AIRIC, including full-tuition and fees
scholarship and a reasonable stipend, to conduct my study into the
field of Automotive Powertrain Systems.
My graduate courses, such as CFD, FEM,
Advanced Numerical Calculating, Advanced Fluid Mechanics and
Thermodynamics, Advanced Control, Advanced ICE, gave me a deep
understanding of theoretical concepts and simulation methods. My
masters’ thesis was about "Experimental Investigation of
Temperature and Velocity Profiles at Engine Compartment Considering
the Effect of Air Grille, Fan, Condenser, and Radiator", the
results of which have been appeared in several journals and
conferences. Valuable results derived from this work, have been used
by SAIPA (the largest automobile manufacturing Co. in Iran), to
improve the cooling system in one of its mass produced passenger
cars. While the average GPA of graduate students at ME department
was 15.97/20.00, my GPA during M.Sc. was 17.27. Additionally, I was
ranked 1st among all graduate students in ME department, Energy
Conversion, Automotive Engineering.
Upon graduation from SUT, I started my job
career as a Research and Development manager with SPICO Company,
which produces a wide variety of water and sewage pumps. I could
establish a fluid laboratory and improve performance of two sewage
pumps with optimizing blade shape and armature winding methods at
SPICO. Then, I experienced some projects in order to optimize engine
cooling and HVAC systems in cooperation with AIRIC. And from March
2006 until now, I have been working as Fuel, Cooling and CNG Systems
Expert in SAIPA. During this stint, I have gained invaluable
experience in project management and team work, and have gained
extensive knowledge on various practical and theoretical aspects of
design, optimization, and troubleshooting. I am particularly proud
of my contribution in the design and production of Fuel and Cooling
systems parts in a new passenger car that will be produced in the
near future.
Recently, I had an opportunity to experience a
business trip in Spain and Italy. To stabilize our new-designed car,
we were forced to conduct all compulsory tests with global standards
conditions, and IDIADA is world-wide reputable test center in this
field which was selected to achieve our goals. I was present in some
tests such as; powertrain durability, engine performance and
drivability, thermal management, ride and handling, crash and NVH in
this center. Becoming familiar with new engineering, testing and
homologation methods were some valuable outcomes from this trip.
Despite great income, my achievements and
several promotions in SAIPA, I have never considered it a place to
settle the rest of my career in. Rather, I have been determined to
further pursue my education in a world class institute, where I can
be a more effective researcher. Energy, transportation, and
environment are some of the major challenges that require an
ever-increasing research in the field of Mechanical Engineering; a
research in which I intend to be a part of, not only because of its
urgency, but also because of my passion in this field. For this
purpose, I wish to pursue my education as a PhD student in one of
famous university. I am confident I have the intellectual curiosity,
educational background, and the dedication it takes to excel at this
position.
I am strongly interested in theoretical study,
numerical simulation and experimental investigation of heat transfer
and fluid mechanics especially in combustion, ICE, new related
technologies in Hybrid Vehicles, Fuel Cells, Turbo-Machinery and
MEMS. Also I would like to work towards the development of new
methods of fuel consumption reduction and alternative sources of
fuel. Also, I am attracted to pursue a career in the field of micro
and nano technology subjects. I find it as an exciting area to delve
and enjoy the research. It is a fast growing area with tremendous
potential for research and an increasing number of applications in
today's world of industry and technology.
Sense of teamwork, integrity, responsibility,
punctuality and being energetic are my individual strengths, and I
believe these characteristics together with my research interests
and potential would help me to gain suitable academic position in
the future. I look forward to my future with great anticipation.
