"With a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and a deep passion for education, I bring over two decades of expertise in semiconductor, optical, and magnetic device analysis, as well as hands-on experience in advanced device characterization and reliability engineering. Most recently, I served as a Device Physicist and Reliability Engineer at SiLC Technologies, where I led investigations into failure mechanisms affecting LiDAR modules and optoelectronic devices, including lasers and balanced photodetectors. This role demanded a high level of technical precision, cross-functional collaboration, and problem-solving—skills I now apply to teaching complex subjects in engaging and accessible ways.

Prior to my industry role, I was a full professor at the University of Tehran, where I founded and led both the Semiconductor Device Simulation Lab and a state-of-the-art MEMS/NEMS Class 100 Cleanroom Facility. My academic journey also includes research appointments at UC Berkeley, where I studied ferroelectric integration for memory technologies, and at Delaware State University, where I worked on pyroelectric thin-film devices. Throughout my career, I’ve mentored students of all levels—from undergraduate interns to Ph.D. researchers—and I take great pride in demystifying STEM concepts for diverse learners. Whether tutoring high school math or guiding advanced physics, I am committed to helping students build confidence, master foundational concepts, and cultivate lifelong learning skills." less...
