My master thesis focused on phase-field modeling of microstructure evolution in temperature gradient transient liquid phase bonding process. I studied the effects of process parameters on the kinetic of solidification and microstructure of solidified zone. During PhD I used phase-field modeling to simulate microstructure evolution during laser surface processing. The focus was on the effect of initial grain size on the final grain structure of the heat-affected zone and the melt pool. Both projects were carried out under the supervision of Prof. Hamid Assadi.

As an Assistant Prof. I am teaching different courses related to phase transformations such as diffusion in solids, multicomponent systems, and physical metallurgy. I’m also supervising different graduate dissertations. The main topics are materials processing simulation; thermodynamics of small systems, and recently the design and fabrication of lightweight high entropy alloys.
