Bio:
A seasoned professional with an extensive background in electrical engineering, particularly within the domain of printing and packaging whohas delved an academic journey into the impactful realm of energy management.
Currently based in Vancouver, BC, I bring a wealth of experience as a self-employed Academic Advisor & Planner, aligning educational goals with sustainable planning approaches. However, it's my pivotal role as an Electrical Engineer at a distinguished Printing and Packaging Complex in Tehran, Iran, that has significantly shaped my expertise.
As an Electrical Engineer, I spearheaded initiatives to integrate sustainable practices into engineering processes, championing energy-efficient solutions and conducting comprehensive environmental impact assessments. My focus extended beyond conventional engineering, actively leading the charge in adopting environmentally conscious practices within the complex. This included promoting sustainable energy sources and meticulously assessing and mitigating the environmental impact of engineering endeavors.
Complementing my engineering prowess is a Master of Energy Management from the New York Institute of Technology. This advanced degree has not only fortified my academic foundation but has also equipped me with a profound understanding of the strategic role energy management plays in shaping sustainable practices. I have applied this knowledge directly in the field, driving initiatives that prioritize energy efficiency and sustainable energy sources within the printing and packaging industry.
My academic journey also includes a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and a Post Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain and Logistics Management from Warwick University, UK. This diverse educational background underscores my commitment to a holistic understanding of engineering practices, logistics, and the strategic management of energy resources.
Active involvement in the Engineering Organization of Tehran showcases my ongoing commitment to staying abreast of industry advancements and contributing to collaborative initiatives. Eager to contribute a wealth of experience and a dynamic skill set to innovative and interdisciplinary Ph.D. research initiatives, my focus remains on leveraging my profound background as an electronic engineer in the realm of printing and packaging. My hands-on experience, coupled with advanced knowledge in energy management, positions me as an ideal candidate for projects that push the boundaries of sustainable technology and drive positive change within the industry.
