About Me
I was born and raised in Tabriz, a city in northwest Iran, renowned for its handwoven carpets, the historic Grand Bazaar, and its rich tradition of craftsmanship, particularly in leather goods.
My academic background is in theoretical physics, with a focus on quantum materials. These materials are the macroscopic manifestation of quantum coherence, where phenomena such as magnetism and superconductivity emerge as large-scale expressions of microscopic interactions. My research focuses on understanding how new and unexpected phenomena emerge when radically different forms of order, such as superconductors and magnets, interact.
I enjoy teaching undergraduate courses, especially when I can explore the history of a field, how it has evolved, who contributed to its development, and what challenges were crucial in shaping it. These aspects are not only exciting to me but also central to how I design and deliver my lectures. I believe it's important to recognize the historical context, the assumptions of the time, and the limits of intuition.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy biking, watching films, and going on road trips.
