Laboratory Skills

Polymeric and multicomponent polymer-based membrane fabrication and characterization: Phase inversion technique and liquid (water & organic solvents) permeation/rejection measurements and analysis.
Obtained the ability to work with various laboratory devices and techniques in the Polymer Chemistry laboratory such as Hollow Fiber Membrane Manufacturing Equipment.
Achieved the ability to work with various laboratory devices and techniques in the formulation and fabrication of hollow fiber membranes.
Gained the ability to work with hollow fiber membrane manufacture.

Researched for three years in the research laboratory of Dr. Mahdavi; involved with the synthesis of functionalized polymers (chloromethylated polysulfone (CMPSf), sulfonated polysulfone (SPSf)), amine-functionalized silica, graphene oxide, and fabrication ultra and microfiltration polysulfone and polyethersulfone membrane.

Gained the ability to manipulate many laboratory techniques such as:

Polymeric and multicomponent polymer-based membrane fabrication and
Characterization.
NIPS and VIPS techniques.
Liquid (water & organic solvents) permeation/rejection measurements and analysis.

Participated in numerous workshops and educational courses (Extracurricular):

Gas Chromatography & Mass spectrometry
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
Nano Material Characterization and Applicable Standards
Fire Proofing Coating Course

Work experience

I have researched for six months in the R&D team of a knowledge enterprise company (Polymer Gostar Fartak Pars) on the fabrication of micro and ultrafiltration hollow fiber and flat sheet membranes for water treatment. I have been working on a portable water purification straw name "Nanostraw" that is an ultra-light, high-performance, portable water filter and is ideal for hiking, backpacking, camping, travel, and emergency preparedness. This filter design lets people turn up contaminated water into safe drinking water to be used for drinking directly from rivers, lakes, and other freshwater sources. Nanostraw can filter up to 1000 liters. The implementation of hollow fiber membranes can remove 99.99 percent of waterborne bacteria, including E. coli, salmonella, and 99.9 percent of waterborne protozoa, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Therefore, it ultimately reduces the risk of contracting illnesses such as diarrhea, dysentery, and Giardia.
