Educational background

Ph. D. (Pursuing)
Biological and Agricultural Engineering

MSc, Agricultural Engineering- Irrigation and Drainage
University of Tehran, Iran (2014)

Research Interests

Soil biogeochemistry, Vadose zone hydrology, Soil physics, Agricultural water management

Current project

My current research is about the influence of hydrological, biogeochemical and temperature transients on soil redox activities. In my research, I look at properties which affect the redox reactions at the pore to the watershed scale.
