Looking for my next
opportunity
to make a change.
 

Hello!

I’m Milad, a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University at Buffalo, where I also work as a Research and Teaching Assistant. My research focuses on the thermodynamic and flow behavior of binary mixtures under nanoconfinement—work that sits at the intersection of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and computational modeling. Driven by a deep curiosity and a fast-learning mindset, I’ve explored various research areas from the thermomechanical properties of 2D materials to the practical applications of molecular dynamics simulations. My journey has taken me from the ancient streets of Qazvin, Iran, to cutting-edge labs in the United States, and I’m passionate about making meaningful contributions to science and engineering.

Outside of the lab, I thrive in collaborative environments and deeply value being part of a team. Leadership has been a key part of my academic journey—I’ve served as president of both the Iranian Graduate Student Association and the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Graduate Student Association at UB. Whether it’s through mentoring, organizing community events, or tackling tough research problems, I bring energy, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose to everything I do. I also enjoy watching and analyzing films, following professional soccer, and reminiscing about my days as a basketball player.
