She is as an explorer at heart, driven by curiosity and a passion for diving into the diverse fields of civil engineering. Originally from Kurdistan, Iran, her first master’s studies sparked a deep interest in interdisciplinary research, leading her to focus her thesis on the mechanical properties and durability of lightweight fiber-reinforced concrete. After completing her first master’s in Iran, she had the privilege of working in Brazil, gaining hands-on experience alongside civil engineering professionals from various cultural backgrounds. Eager to expand her knowledge, she pursued a second master’s in Geotechnical and Hydraulic Engineering at TU Graz, where she specialized in experimental and numerical solutions related to sustainability and environmental adaptation.

For her doctoral studies, under the guidance of Prof. Philipp Preinstorfer, she will expand the knowledge on the long-term performance of non-metallic reinforced concrete to new materials.

Outside of academics, she enjoys finding balance and joy in nature through camping and expressing her energy through dancing.

Find out what she has to say:
"Building on my academic background and research experience, I am excited to continue advancing in the field of structural engineering. I am grateful for the opportunity to join the Research Unit Structural Concrete at TU Wien and am eager to contribute and grow in this dynamic environment."

We are very much looking forward to working together!
