Prior to this, I served as a lecturer in Industrial Engineering at Sharif University of Technology, Iran’s top-ranked academic institution and one of the most prestigious in the region, from 2018 to 2022. I have also made significant contributions as a researcher at the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (A*STAR SIMTech) from 2015 to 2016, a globally recognized research institute ranked among the top institutions worldwide. My expertise lies in supply chain management, sustainability, applied optimization, and healthcare operations management. With over 50 publications in prestigious peer-reviewed journals, 20 peer-reviewed conference proceedings, and one authored book (resulting in a total of more than 2,400 citations with an h-index of 28), I currently serve on the editorial boards of several journals in WILEY, Springer, etc., and am an active reviewer for many top-tier journals in the field. My outstanding academic and research contributions have been recognized with numerous national and international accolades, including the distinguished lecturer, prestigious ARAP Scholarship awarded by A*STAR Singapore, and the Iran National Elite Foundation Awards between 2012 and 2016.
