Assistant Professor

Applied Chemistry, University of Kashan, Kashan, Iran, 2015-Now.

Fields of Research: Gaseous, liquid and solid fuels production from bio resources. Biodiesel production from algae and other oily biomasses in supercritical conditions. Water, methanol, hexane and acetone in supercritical conditions is used for biomass conversion to biofuels in our Lab. Nanocomposites for bio applications is my other field of research. Extraction of chemicals from medicinal herbs for using in controlled drug delivery systems, especially polymer nanocomposites.

Current research projects: Kinetic study of biodiesel production processes in supercritical environment and conversion studies of bio-aviation fuels production processes in supercritical environment.

 

PhD

Applied Chemistry, University of Tehran, Tehran-Iran, 2011-2015.

Field of Research: Catalytic renewable fuels production from biomass.

More specifically, in my PhD thesis, I have focused on the production of hydrogen gas from biomass feedstock using catalytic sub and supercritical water gasification.  Ni, Ru, Cu and K are the metals we are working on. Renewable liquid fuels production especially higher alcohols and ethers is our parallel aim in the thesis. With progressing the experimental steps of thesis, we could produce relatively significant amounts of higher alcohols from a catalytic subcritical methanol/water process as well as hydrogen production was successful.
 

 

Master of Science

Applied Chemistry, University of Tabriz, Tabriz-Iran, 2008-2011.

Field of Study: Anticorrosion behavior of electroactive polymer coatings on steel.

In MSc thesis we try to inhibit the steel electrochemical corrosion with polymer nanocomposite coatings. The polymer matrix contain polyaniline as an electroactive polymer and Zn metal nanoparticles was applied as additive.  The nanocomposite coatings exhibited good anticorrosion performance. The field included courses such as preparation of polymer nanocomposites and electrochemical tests as CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Abstract

A curcumin drug carrier was prepared by a polymer blend of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA). Few layer graphene oxide (FL-GO) was synthesized and the PVA-SA blend was composited with 0, 1, 5, and 10 wt% of FL-GO. The effect of GO percentage on the swelling ratio and drug release was investigated. In addition, the kinetics of the drug release was studied to estimate the drug release mechanism for each case. SEM micrographs showed a 3D structure for GO (3D-GO) in the polymer composite after cross-linking. Curcumin was loaded in PVA-SA/3D-GO hydrogels for studying in vitro drug delivery systems. The 3D-GO effect on the hydrogels water uptake was also investigated. The 3D-GO generally could increase the swelling ratio up to 5 times and decrease drug release to 59%. Increasing in GO content caused a decreasing in swelling capacity and an increasing in drug release rate. Kinetic studies revealed that the Korsmeyer-Peppas model has a good fitting for PVA-SA/3D-GO 10 wt% and PVA-SA hydrogels as well as the zero order model for PVA-SA/3D-GO 1 wt% and 5 wt%.
