Associate Professor at the University of Isfahan. Former Researcher at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Germany. I work on numerical methods, meshless discretizations, peridynamics, and the high-performance code that brings them to life on modern hardware.
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Isfahan, Iran. My research focuses on numerical methods and scientific computing, with particular interest in meshfree and meshless discretizations, peridynamics, and high-performance computing.
I was previously a researcher at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in Geesthacht, Germany, where I contributed to the development of computational methods for structural mechanics and multiscale modeling. I have served as Head and Deputy of Education of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Isfahan.
My work bridges theoretical computational mechanics with practical high-performance implementations, aiming to make advanced simulation tools accessible and efficient on modern hardware architectures.
