Principal Investigator:
Dr. Amin Yourdkhani
Dr. Yourdkhani received both B.Sc and M.Sc degrees in materials engineering and a Ph.D. in materials science. He accomplished his bachelor's at the University of Semnan in 2005. Then, he received an M.Sc in the university of Tehran in 2008. Afterward, he moved to the United States, and he was awarded a Ph.D. degree from theUniversity of New Orleans in 2012. Then, he joined IMEM at the magnetic materials group at CNR, Parma, Italy as a postdoctoral researcher within the Marie Curie fellowship program in 2013. Dr. Yourdkhani has been a faculty member in the ceramics group of the materials engineering department at Tarbiat Modares University (TMU) since 2015.
Dr. Yourdkhani teaches courses in masters and Ph.D. levels. He is the instructor for “Physical Ceramics” and “Magnetic and Electrical Ceramics” courses for M.Sc students. At the doctorate level, he teaches “Advanced Electroceramics”.
