My undergraduate training initially started in Engineering Science program, one of the world's top undergraduate engineering programs. The program focuses on fundamentals, emphasizes interdisciplinary linkages, and features both breadth and depth through two years of broad foundation courses. Providing its students such a unique background prepares them to do cutting edge research, even during their undergraduate studies.

 

My research goal so far, has been on using a multi-disciplinary approach, in order to better understand the effect of various flows and their resultant shear stress, on cells. For my masters thesis, the objective is to characterize the geometry of the Common Carotid Artery and study the behavior of blood flow in such geomteries, using Computational Fluid Dynamics. I am now conducting my research @ "Biomedical Simulation Laboratory in Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto". I have previously worked @ "Khademhosseini Lab, Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology"; as well as "University of Toronto Microfluidics Foundry", Department of Mechanical Engineering.

 

Extracurricular activities have always been a consistent trait of my character. Examples include: Performing Music in a national caliber level and touring across Canada with Chakavak Ensemble (a well-known Persian Traditional Music Ensemble), Swimming at University of Toronto Master Swim Club, Life-guarding, organizing academic conferences and reading about Astronomy as part of my passions. All the above activities have helped me further develop my leadership and communication skills.
