Work Experience

Diverse professional background spanning higher-education teaching, hydraulic modelling, and nuclear-process engineering — combining hands-on experimentation, numerical simulation, and multidisciplinary team leadership.

University of Adelaide — Teaching Assistant & Laboratory Demonstrator

2023 – present · Adelaide, Australia (part-time)

Supporting undergraduate teaching across Civil & Environmental Engineering courses, delivering laboratory demonstrations and coursework assistance in hydraulic and water-resource subjects.

  • Lab Demonstrator — Robin Hydraulics Laboratory: Pump and Energy Dissipator Experiments, Flow Measurement, and Transient Behaviour.
  • Teaching AssistantWater Resource Management and Modelling Urban Catchments (using MUSIC & Source software).
  • Guided students through experiment design, data acquisition, calibration, and safety protocols.
  • Assisted academic staff with grading, feedback, and maintaining laboratory readiness.

Nuclear Science & Technology Research Institute — Senior Process Engineer

2017 – 2023 · Tehran, Iran

Led isotope-separation and environmental-radiation projects, combining mechanical design, process engineering, and data-driven simulation to support national research programs in nuclear and environmental sciences.

  • Designed and commissioned a 20-centrifuge cascade for separation of Te-130, increasing enrichment from 34 % to 99 % concentration in collaboration with the Advanced Technology Company of Iran.
  • Developed and optimized cascade simulations, pressure-control logic, and transient-response analysis.
  • Supervised fabrication, welding, assembly, and commissioning of centrifuges and associated vacuum systems.
  • Managed process-safety documentation, QA/QC protocols, and interdisciplinary coordination with mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation teams.
  • Environmental project: led a national-scale study on environmental radioactivity and radon/thoron risk mapping for urban areas, producing policy-ready heat maps and ventilation-mitigation guidance.

Shahid Beheshti University — Research Engineer

2015 – 2023 · Tehran, Iran (part-time)

Conducted theoretical and computational studies on isotope-separation cascades, developing in-house simulation tools for coupled flow and pressure dynamics.

  • Modelled transient gas flow within centrifuge arrays and validated performance indices.
  • Published multiple peer-reviewed papers in isotope separation and process modelling.
  • Collaborated with NSTRI on experimental validation and process design improvement.
