Text Box: This is a revised edition of my previous website in this address initially published on 2003/12/4.
In recent years our Information Technology Service center (ITS) in Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM) has designed more comprehensive and influential websites for the university academic members which my site is accessible <Here>. Consequently, I decided to reduce the contents of my old website which included some of my research works and devote it to the nonofficial stuffs. You can find a brief biography, some contact addresses and few pictures in this new homepage.
Text Box: Here are some important episodes of my life, 
Text Box: Who am I?
I was born in Mashhad (30/11/1961). Mashhad, is a multi characteristic two million populated industrial, academic, and holy city, located in the northeastern part of Iran. 
   Last years of my high school period was coincided with the Islamic revolution of Iran. In 1980, when I had to enter university educations, down to the cultural revolution, universities were closed. To save the time I choose to commence my two years of mandatory military service. Shortly after the nomination, Iraq occupied some western parts of Iran and a war begun. I spent this period of my life in war. 
   In Feb. 1984 I started my B.Sc. Curriculum in Mechanical Engineering in Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM). 
   In March 1988 I took a job as the laboratory director which last until Jan. 1990 that I was admitted to the M. Sc. program in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Sharif University of Technology (SUT) in Iran. 
   I returned to work in Nov. 1992 as a lecturer in FUM. 
   Once again from Feb. 1997 until Feb 2003 I returned to SUT for the fulfillment of my PhD in Mechanical Engineering. 
   Now I am working as an associate professor in FUM. During my work experience I have been the supervisor of many B. Sc, M. Sc. and PhD dissertations. Moreover I have the chance to be the author and/or co-author of many journal and conference articles some of them in Farsi which are accessible, in my official website (My Contacts).
