I am a Research Professor at the Chemical Industry Research Institute, Korea National University of Transportation (KNUT), where I conduct advanced research on energy and functional materials for photothermal-assisted thermoelectric power generation and electrocatalytic water splitting.

Previously, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Air Environment and Energy Research Lab (AEERL), University of Ulsan, focusing on photocatalytic solar-to-chemical energy conversion and environmental applications.

Before transitioning to academic research for my Ph.D., I gained extensive industry experience as a Lead Process Engineer in the food and biotechnology sectors. 

I hold a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Ulsan, South Korea, a Master’s Degree in Biochemical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, and a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.
