Shiva Shahshenas
@shivashahshenas
Physics professor and plasma engineer specializing in tokamak systems, plasma devices, and applied cold plasma solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a physics faculty and plasma engineer with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering (fusion) from AmirKabir University of Technology and extensive experience in tokamak systems and plasma devices.
I have designed and constructed tokamak current drive and pre-ionization systems, led national tokamak simulation and construction efforts, and produced plasma generators, diagnostic tools, and radiation-resistant nanofibers through multiple technology companies I founded.
As a university instructor and workshop leader I teach courses and run hands-on labs in nuclear reactors, radiation detection, MCNP, Comsol Multiphysics and plasma diagnostics, mentoring students and developing laboratory facilities for education.
I combine academic research, patents, and industrial project leadership—focusing on cold plasma applications, plasma generators, diagnostic systems, MCNP simulation, and nanofiber fabrication—to deliver practical, research-driven solutions.
