I was born in Ardabil County, Iran. I completed my primary, middle, and high school education in my hometown, Ardabil. In 2001, I was admitted to the Bachelor's degree program in Civil Engineering at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili and graduated in 2005. Immediately in the same year, I succeeded in gaining admission to the Master's degree program in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, at Sahand University of Technology and completed this program in 2007. Subsequently, in 2007, I was admitted to the specialized Ph.D. entrance exam in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, at Sahand University of Technology and defended my doctoral dissertation in 2012.

From 2013 until now, I have been serving as a faculty member of the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili and currently hold the academic rank of Associate Professor. Among the achievements of this period are the supervision and graduation of 3 Ph.D. students and 30 Master's students, as well as the publication of several scientific-research papers in reputable journals and several papers in national and international conferences.
