About Me

I received my B.Sc. in chemistry from Sharif University of Technology in 2015 and my M.Sc. in computational chemistry from the same school in 2017. My research at UF primarily focuses on combining analytical chemistry tools and scientific programming for the metabolomic discovery of rare disorders. I am currently working on two projects; the first one concentrates on the detection of new biomarkers in meningiomas to improve early detection of this disease by employing machine learning as a tool on mass spectrometry-based metabolomics data. The second project is focused on the characterization of rare X-chromosome deletion disorders using metabolomics and lipidomics workflows by UHPLC-HRMS on neural progenitor cells.
