My main area of interest is geometric continuum mechanics and I started studying this field during my undergraduate degree at the University of Guilan. I then continued my education at MSc level (2014) in Applied Mechanics at Sharif University of Technology. Upon completion of my master’s degree, I realized that continuum mechanics could be applied to many different fields such as biomechanics, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, etc. However, my knowledge of continuum mechanics was still limited and therefore I started my PhD studies in Rational Mechanics at Sharif University of Technology where I worked with some of the top researchers in the field. During my doctorate studies, I had the great opportunity to work with an esteemed professor at the University of Calgary (UofC) as a visiting graduate student on a one-year sabbatical. My research at UofC focused on generalized continuum mechanics using differential geometric methods to model living tissue evolutions such as morphogenesis. I completed my PhD in 2020 with numerous published papers in the field of Solid Mechanics.
I moved to Canada in 2021 with the desire to continue my studies in a field where I could use the theoretical knowledge I have acquired and apply it to an area that would benefit humanity. Therefore, I joined the ASRoM-Lab as a PhD Student. My research is on novel shape-morphing soft robotic systems for space exploration. My goal is to develop model-based dynamic closed-loop strategies to control shape-morphing continuum robots experiencing large deformation to adapt to varying environments and to enable multitasking.
