As an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, I bring over 10 years of dedicated expertise in vibration analysis, structural health monitoring, and wave propagation. My career is a unique blend of advanced academic research and impactful industrial application, having supervised more than 10 Master's and 2 PhD students while simultaneously driving innovation as an R&D and Design Engineer for major companies like Ardabil Steel Plant Co. and an Automobile Part Manufacturing Company. I currently lead the Mechanical Engineering Group and direct my state-of-the-art Modal Analysis Lab, where I bridge theory and practice by employing advanced numerical simulations (Abaqus, MATLAB) alongside experimental techniques including photogrammetry and modal testing to solve complex real-world engineering challenges.
