I was born and raised in Kermanshah, an ancient city in Iran known as the land of water and historical stones. From a young age, I discovered my passion for science, particularly in the intricate world of chemical reactions and molecular structures. After completing my Bachelor's Degree as the first-ranked undergraduate student, I pursued a Master's degree in Nano-Organic Chemistry at the University of Tehran. My research focused on investigating the behavior of green nanocatalysts in organic reactions, utilizing advanced spectroscopic techniques such as SEM, TEM, TGA, VSM, XRD, and NMR to unravel their unique properties. I specifically continued my research on the synthesis of triazole compounds through Click reactions.

I graduated with my Master's Degree in Nano Chemistry as the first-ranked student in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tehran and subsequently joined the Pharmaceutical Synthesis Laboratory at the Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute in Iran as a Research Assistant. During this time, I published five original articles in high-impact journals and three chapters of a  book. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make meaningful contributions to science, I decided to continue my academic journey by pursuing a PhD in Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma, starting in Spring 2025.
