I am currently pursuing a PhD at the University of A Coruña (Spain), under the supervision of Dr. Félix Nieto. Since March 2022, my research has focused on wind-excited energy harvesters, where I explore the aerodynamic and structural dynamics of blunt bodies to optimize the capture of ambient wind energy. I am also actively involved in the AOWINDE project, which aims to accelerate the development of offshore wind energy in the Galicia-Northern Portugal Euroregion through strategic public-private collaboration and the implementation of advanced analytical tools.

I hold an M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from K. N. Toosi University of Technology, where I graduated second in my class, and a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Shahrood University of Technology. My academic interests encompass computational fluid dynamics, fluid-structure interaction, wind engineering, optimization, and data analysis. I have developed and applied simulation frameworks and optimization algorithms using various tools, including OpenFOAM, Python, MATLAB, SALOME, C++, HPC systems, and machine learning techniques. These skills have supported my work in CFD modeling, wind tunnel experimentation, and reliability-based structural design.
