I am a molecular biologist with a strong background in proteomics, biotechnology, and mass spectrometry. I enjoy working both in the lab and in the field, and I am motivated by practical challenges and careful scientific work. I am always eager to learn and contribute to team projects. My main interest is using proteomic tools—like Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) and LC-MS/MS—to study past biodiversity and understand changes in the environment over time.

Methodologically, my work lies at the intersection of biotechnology and archaeology, combining advanced laboratory techniques with interdisciplinary frameworks. My earlier research explored the proteomic and metabolomic responses of plants under abiotic stress, and my current interests extend this molecular perspective to ancient faunal remains, helping to understand past ecosystems and how people lived and used resources.

My academic career began with a PhD in Proteomics and Metabolomics (2010) from the University of Tehran in Iran, where I studied biochemical processes linked to drought tolerance in wheat. I subsequently worked as an Assistant Professor at the Agricultural Research Institute of the Iranian Research Organization of Science and Technology (IROST) in Tehran from 2012 to 2021, where I contributed to a variety of interdisciplinary research projects that combined proteomics, metabolomics, and molecular biology to address questions about development in various model organisms, environmental stress response, and biodiversity. I also held visiting research positions in Norway, Austria, and Germany.

I joined NTNU as a researcher in the PReciSe project in April 2025, contributing to proteomic species identification in archaeological contexts. Prior to PReciSe project, I have also contributed to the ERC Synergy Project 4-OCEANS (2023-2024) as a part time job with NTNU, where I worked on peptide analysis and ZooMS-based species identification and LC-MS/MS to conduct the pilot study for PReciSe project. I also held a fixed-term research position at SINTEF in Norway (2022), focusing on proteomic identification of marine and terrestrial animal bones.

Over the past decade, I have contributed to numerous international collaborations and published over 25 peer-reviewed articles. My long-term goal is to bridge the molecular sciences and the humanities to better understand the complex relationships between people, environments, and species across time.
