I study star formation, gas, and dust properties of distant galaxies that are only 3 to 5 billion years after the Big Bang (redshift of z~1-3). I use ground-based observatories, Keck, LBT, VLT, and ALMA, and space telescopes, JWST, Hubble, Spitzer, Herschel, to study how galaxies form and evolve throughout cosmic time.

More about me:
I was born and raised in Tehran, capital of Iran, the city that never sleeps and has four seasons throughout the year, including snow in winter (yes, not all of Iran is a desert!). I got my Bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of Tehran in 2011, and moved to the US to continue my graduate studies. At the University of California at Riverside, I received an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and graduated with a Ph.D. in Physics in September 2017 (advisor: Naveen Reddy). I was a NASA Hubble fellow from 2018-2021, and Research Faculty from 2021-2023 at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. Since July 2023, I have started a new position as a research fellow (Atraccíon the Talento fellowship) at the Astrophysics department of Centro de Astrobiología (CAB-CSIC/INTA) in Madrid, Spain.
Aside from research, I am very proud of the two astronomy outreach initiatives that I started: Staryab educational astronomy website in Persian, and the MESCIT math tutoring and mentorship program. Click on the links on the right to learn more about my outreach activities.
in 2021, I was awarded the Outstanding Postdoctoral Scholar Award of the University of Arizona: link
My work has also been highlighted on the University of Arizona Postdoctoral Association, check it out here.
Other than research and outreach, I love traveling to see the world, learn about different cultures, and explore the wonders of our planet, like Antarctica!
