What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to apply my research in practical settings, focusing on animal nutrition and dairy production improvements.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in ruminant nutrition at the University of Tehran, where I focus on enhancing dairy calf performance and rumen development. My academic journey includes a Master’s degree from Isfahan University of Technology, where I achieved a high GPA and conducted significant research on dietary impacts on dairy calves.

Throughout my career, I have authored multiple peer-reviewed publications, contributing to the understanding of nutritional strategies in dairy cattle. My work has been recognized in reputable journals, and I have served as a corresponding author on several impactful studies. I am passionate about advancing knowledge in animal nutrition and improving production practices in the dairy industry.
