It all began on an ordinary day when I was 9 years. I was looking for stuff in our wardrobe when encountered a book titled “Tell Me Why”. Still, I can feel the enjoyment I felt when skimming the book. I was fascinated with the questions and more by the scientific answers. I was fascinated by science. Since then I was finding myself drowned in reading scientific books for children. I later imagined myself a profound scientist when I grow up. Maybe the topics I was interested in before changed but still, I’m on the same journey. A journey seeking wisdom with the love of science at the heart of it.

Pursuing my long-term aspiration, I majored in Physics at Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) earned a Bachelor’s degree. Later on, I moved to the United States and joined the relativistic numerical relativity group at Washington States University Physics & Astronomy Department. Our research group is a part of SXS collaboration focused on relativistic hydrodynamics simulations of systems with extreme gravity. These systems consist of binary black holes, neutron stars, and neutron star black hole binary. At the WSU research group spend +6 years researching, writing production code, and analyzing simulation data for the next generation of relativistic hydrodynamics simulations. The goal of relativistic numerical relativity is to perform reliable and efficient relativistic simulations with our current computational resources. As one of my projects I made it to gain ~10 times faster simulation by developing spherical polar grid code. Adding more physics to the simulations is one way to improve them. As another project, I debugged and modified relativistic viscous hydrodynamics code and showed it is ~4 faster than its equivalent magneto-hydrodynamics simulations. The list of my publications is available here. I graduated in July 2020 with a Ph.D. degree in Physics. Since then I’m an adjunct faculty at WSU Physics & Astronomy Department.
