My academic journey began with a fascination for optics and quantum mechanics during my bachelor's studies, where I designed a Michelson interferometer as my first step into experimental physics. This experience inspired me to pursue a master's degree in photonics, where I explored experimental laser physics and nonlinear optics. During my thesis, I designed and fabricated several types of fiber and bulk lasers, including a high-power 532 nm laser based on resonant second harmonic generation — published in the International Journal of Optics and Photonics.
I also broadened my experience by collaborating with Masih Daneshvari Hospital in Tehran, where I modeled brain tissue for the development of a tumor-treating fields (TTF) device. In 2023, I joined TU Wien as a PhD researcher and project assistant, contributing to CANNEX — a force-metrology experiment at the intersection of quantum mechanics and cosmology. This project explores dark energy, dark matter, and quantum gravity interactions, while also investigating Casimir forces and force gradients as windows into the quantum vacuum. Driven by curiosity and a passion for experimentation, I aim to bridge fundamental physics with innovative applications
