Curriculum Vitae

Shaghayegh received her master's degree in organic chemistry from Kharazmi University in Tehran in 2008, with a focus on the synthesis and characterization of novel thermally stable Poly (ether-amide)s. She worked in the industry for 5 years as a Quality Control manager after completing her master's degree. She then moved to TU Wien in Austria to begin her PhD in the Molecular Materials Chemistry group. She obtained her Doctor of Natural Science degree in April 2022. The topic of her dissertation was Metal-Organic Frameworks for Environmental Applications, such as Photocatalysis and Water Purification.  She then continued as a postdoctoral researcher in the Eder group since May 2022 until now.

Shaghayegh’s research interests revolve around synthesis and characterization of MOFs for different applications. She has developed a strategy called selective ligand removal (e.g. via selective oxidation, thermal degradation or dissolution) to design novel hierarchical microporous-mesoporous MOFs that facilitate reactant diffusion as well as induce uncoordinated centres as potential catalytic sites for photocatalytic applications and conversion efficiency for H2 formation and CO2 reduction and new adsorbent sites for water purification. She also has introduced a strategy to increase the water stability of the MOFs in aquatic media.  Both strategies provide a new tool for the purposeful engineering of hierarchical MOFs with advanced applicability in liquid media.
