Biography

I am a Doctoral assistant in the BIOS group while doing my Ph.D. in the Biotechnology and Bioengineering program at EPFL. My research interests are focused on Biosensors, Microfluidics, and Point-of-Care systems. My research interests are not confined to the list above. I always thirst for learning about new research areas, since I am sure that I may become engrossed in them.

I earned my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Tabriz and worked on droplet-surface interaction and superhydrophobicity. Subsequently, I embarked on a Master's degree in Material Science and Nanotechnology at Bilkent University, where I developed a real-time impedimetric system for droplet measurement in droplet-microfluidic systems. Meanwhile, I investigated droplet monodispersity and reached new milestones in obtaining ultra-monodisperse droplets.

Currently, my focus is on plasmonic biosensors, specifically continuous biosensors. I am excited about the potential for further collaboration with fellow researchers in the biosensor and plasmonics field to advance our understanding and innovation in this area.
