Personal Statement


I was awarded a BEng degree in Mechanical Engineering followed by an MSc in Solid Mechanics both at the University of Tehran with first class. I then moved to the UK for further studies and was awarded a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2000 at the University of Surrey. Since then, I have worked as research and academic member of staff for UK and overseas universities and research institutions.

My research focus is on aspects related to the integrity assessment of structures. Examples include evaluating the influence of residual stress fields on fracture resistance of structures subjected to various history and in-service loading conditions, developing failure predicting modelling approach to rupture conditions in adhesively bonded structures, exploring the influence of interacting fatigue and impact loading on damage tolerance of rail alloy steels, and shape optimisation (wind turbine blade) and stress analysis in composite structures (using finite elements and iso-geometric analysis. The output, so far is 80+ articles, has been published in accredited journals and proceedings of key international conferences in the field.

As an academic member of staff, I have supervised several PhD and MSc researches, as well as numerous final year undergraduate student individual and group projects, performed in several academic related managerial roles overseas (including departmental director of undergraduate studies, director f postgraduate studies, Director of undergraduate laboratories, course chair, and course director) and in the UK (Module leader, lecturer, Supervisor, personal tutor, mentor, academic conduct officer) and delivered several undergraduate and postgraduate core solid mechanics modules, provided industrial consultation, chaired sessions in international conferences, and have been a reviewer for international journals and conferences. Taught subjects focused on Mechanics of Materials, Mechanical Design, Fracture Mechanics, Structural Integrity, Applied Fatigue and Fracture, and Industrial Application of Finite Element Method all at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Why you chose the Dyson Institute?


I see the institute as a “university on the shop floor”, linking the learning process with work experience directly. The integrated study/work approach makes Dyson Institute a top choice to join for students and academics. For students to develop towards becoming ready-to-work engineers and for academics to work at the heart of leading-edge technology, contribute to training of top-quality engineers and develop and examine innovative ideas that could benefit the industry and the society.
