Sub 10 nm chip manufacturing technology requires extreme ultraviolet light source which is generated by targeting liquid Tin droplet with high energy lasers. At LEC, we are developing next generation ALPS III facility which meets the industry standards to produce stable long-term light source for inspection and metrology in lithography applications. I am responsible for design, manufacturing, installation and testing of different electro-mechanical subsystems ranging from main frame structure down to core component of the facility.

A joint academic/ industrial research on efficiency enhancement of a modern high-pressure steam turbine through implementing advanced flow control features such as cavity flow deflectors and 3D (unsteady)-optimized endwall profiling.

• Fully responsible for design/manufacturing and testing of 8 different turbine designs.
• I was the interface between the management and industrial partner and manufacturing firms, managing the allocation of 1 million CHF financial resources for this project.
• Published five articles in prestigious international conferences and journals
• Supervised several Master and Bachelor students
• Teaching assistant in Turbomachinery design, aerospace propulsion, Thermodynamic III

A core subsystem of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) light source is droplet generation unit which provides highly stable micro-sized liquid Tin droplet to be targeted by high energy lasers in order to produce stable log-term plasma light. Further advancing the droplet generation unit to be used in next generation ALPS facility was the main goal of my research

I was the advisor and consultant for achieving grants (more than 100,000 USD in total) on the topic of renewable energy with modern and innovative solutions namely:

• Self-irrigation trees employing underground cooling and solar energy
• Air moisture absorption utilizing Super Absorbent Polymers (SPAs) to produce drinkable water
• Intelligent self-cooling textile produced using SPAs for clothing

DSDA is a knowledge-based firm, focusing on accomplishing innovative and novel industrial projects, especially the ones without any former successful parallels in Iran. I led two challenging projects in the course of four years with more than 2 million USD financial budget, both being successfully designed, manufactured and executed on site.

• Uma Oya Liner Installation Robot (Syrilanka, UmaOya): I Led a team of 8-10 people for development of a fully automated complex robotic structure to transport 40-ton steel liners from horizontal to vertical and then insert, weld, reinforce them in a 620-meter vertical penstock of a pumped-storage hydro power plant.
• Burner rig Lab (Iran, MAPNA): I Led a team of 6-8 people, for design and execution of an advanced test laboratory to conduct high temperature (up to 1500 C) and high speed (0.3 Mach) continues long term (up to 1000 hours) exposure tests on samples of a gas turbine blades. The goal was to simulate Hot corrosion and oxidation (Type I and II) on blade coating as it occurs in real environment.
