Brief Academic Biography
I was born in Bushehr province, in the south of Iran, on November 11, 1976. I was initially accepted to study medicine at the University of Tehran in 1995, but after three years, changed my major due to my great interest in physics. I started my study in physics in 1998 and obtained my BSc degree at Shiraz University in 2002. I finished my MSc courses in Theoretical Physics at Shiraz University in February 2004. Since I achieved distinction in MSc entrance exam, I was admitted in the PhD program without presenting a MSc thesis. I got my PhD degree in June 2007 at Shiraz University in Cosmology and Gravity under Prof. Nematollah Riazi supervision. I promoted to Associate Professor in March 2011 and to full professor in 2016. Currently, I have two postdoc researchers and 8 PhD students under my supervision.
