Profile

Bio

I received my joint PhD in Chemical Engineering-Biotechnology and Biosciences from University of Cordoba and University of Tehran in October 2019. My PhD research focused on understanding algae-bacteria interactions and how their metabolisms impact each other. Based on this information I tried to develop efficient synthetic consortia including the microalga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and different bacteria for wastewater bioremediation and biofuel (bio-hydrogen) production. I really enjoy integrating knowledge in multidisciplinary projects.

At Carnegie, in Profs. Arthur Grossman and Devaki Bhaya’s labs, I am trying to explore the mechanisms by which microalga (Chlamydomonas) copes with its often challenging surroundings, the network of intracellular interactions to sustain survival and how the information that we obtain in these studies can potentially be used to engineer organisms in ways that allow them to better deal with their dynamic environments. 

Outside of lab I enjoy reading books and walking in nature.
