I have Obtained my Master in Biology-Plant Physiology at University of Isfahan (1989) and my PhD in Biology-Plant Physiology under the supervision of R.McC lielly at Wollongong University-Australia, (1994), studying photosynthesis and osmoregulation in unicellular green alga Dunaliella as a model system. I returned to IRAN afterwards and I have been appointed as a Full-time Assistant Professor at University of Isfahan in 19994. I started my research mostly on Dunaliella physiology. In 2003 and 2010, I have been appointed as an Associate Professor and Full Professor at University of Isfahan, respectively. .
