I earned my Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1996, and that same year, I joined the University of Isfahan in Iran as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry. By 2007, I had advanced to the rank of full Professor. Over the years, I have taught a wide range of chemistry courses. My initial draw to academia was the opportunity to make a direct, positive impact on the lives of young people through teaching and mentoring. As an educator, my success is accurately measured by my students' achievements. My life outside academia is enriched by my deep love for nature. I find solace and inspiration in the great outdoors, and my favorite pastimes include mountain climbing and hiking. These activities not only provide a welcome break from the rigors of academic life but also fuel my creativity and passion for learning.
