Biography
I am a PhD researcher in Computer Science at the University of West London, working under the supervision of Professor Massoud Zolgharni and Professor Hanieh Khalili. My academic background is in Chemical Engineering; I completed my MSc at the University of Tehran, where my thesis focused on nanocarrier systems for targeted drug delivery. I earned my BSc from the Iran University of Science and Technology, with a concentration in process design and simulation. My research interests lie at the intersection of drug delivery systems, 3D bioprinting, AI in biomedical engineering, and biomaterials for cancer treatment. I aim to combine computational modeling with experimental approaches to develop innovative medical solutions.
