Research group: Groundwater and Hydrogeochemistry

I hold my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in petroleum engineering, respectively, from Amirkabir ‎University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) and the Petroleum University of Technology, ‎Iran.‎ During my ‎bachelor's study, I have worked on the petrophysical assessment of tight carbonate reservoirs. Subsequently, I have conducted my master's research on the geochemical-petrophysical evaluation of a newly explored gas shale reservoir in southwestern Iran in the context of a national plan for developing unconventional resources. ‎ I also have 2 years of work experience in the National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC). During this period, I have worked on the interpretation of the specific well logs and their ‎applications to the geomechanical assessment of petroleum resources. This ‎experience brought me more knowledge about the new aspects of geological studies of ‎underground reservoirs.‎ Since February 2020, I have attended the Groundwater and Hydrogeochemistry group of the ‎Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC) as a Ph.D. student, ‎where I intend to pursue my research on other geo-energy applications. The main focus of my ‎Ph.D. study is on the investigation of the coupled chemo-hydro-mechanical processes in porous ‎media and their applications to geologic carbon storage and geothermal energy.
