About

I hold a Ph.D. in Optics and Photonics from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS), Zanjan, Iran. My research focuses on advanced imaging systems, 3D microscopy, and high-precision detection techniques, with a strong emphasis on speckle tweezers (ST) for the manipulation of micro-particles with various refractive indices, probing colloidal interactions, and studying complex microscale dynamics.

Throughout my Ph.D., I worked extensively on polarization-controlled speckle fields, non-diffraction speckle traps, and optical trapping applications for understanding depletion forces, particle–surface interactions, and bacterial motility. The results of my research on ST have been published in Nanophotonics, and Optics Express, highlighting both experimental and theoretical advancements in the field. I have hands-on experience in structured-light generation, optical manipulation, microfluidic force measurements, Interferometry, digital holography microscopy, and the culture and control of microorganisms. These skills allow me to combine optical engineering with computational imaging to investigate mechanobiological interactions in complex systems. My scientific interests span the highly dynamic world at the micron scale—from the Brownian motion of colloidal particles to the active swimming of bacteria. These skills provide a strong foundation for applying state-of-the-art optical and microscopy techniques to investigate mechanobiological interactions in complex systems.
