I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at Rutgers University, specializing in biosensing, microfluidics, and micro- and nanofabrication. My research in the NanoBioElectronics Lab focuses on developing and optimizing nanowell-based impedance biosensors for early disease detection, with applications ranging from cancer biomarker identification to sepsis diagnostics. By integrating advanced fabrication techniques with impedance-based detection, I aim to create label-free, highly sensitive diagnostic platforms that can translate into impactful healthcare solutions.
My academic journey began at the University of Tehran, where I earned my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering with distinction, receiving the best thesis award for my work on real-time impedance measurement systems for differentiating healthy and cancerous lymph nodes. Building on that foundation, I joined Rutgers University to pursue both M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees, maintaining a perfect GPA while contributing to multiple peer-reviewed publications. My experience spans cleanroom microfabrication, electrochemical biosensor development, and data-driven performance optimization of diagnostic devices.
Through my research, I strive to bridge engineering innovation and biomedical applications, working toward point-of-care technologies that are accessible, accurate, and capable of improving patient outcomes worldwide.
