I am currently a research assistant in the TataLab located in the Neuroscience Department at the University of Lethbridge. Regarding my background, I completed a BSc and an MSc in physics. During my BSc, I built a solid background in dealing with theoretical works by achieving a great academic record. After finishing my BSc, I started my Masters at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS) and majored in physics of Soft Matter. My Master’s thesis was focused on Newtonian fluid dynamics, especially viscous fluid jets impacting a plate, resulted in two published papers. After that, I started my second Master’s in bio/chemistry under the supervision of Dr. Marc Roussel at the University of Lethbridge. During this period, I experienced a new area of research where I worked on the mathematical modelling of a biomolecular system (the transcription prosses in gene expression) as my research project. Throughout this program, I gained great experiences such as taking biochemistry courses, teaching chemistry labs, participating in a few conferences, submitting a paper to the Journal of Physical Review E and so on. They all considerably broadened my horizon in this field.
After completing my Master’s in bio/chemistry, I started working as a research assistant in biomolecular science at the University of Lethbridge. The purpose of pursuing this program was to get involved further in research in experimental biochemistry. Later on, I decided to pursue another direction. I ended up getting interested in Dr. Matthew Tata’s research area in the Neuroscience Department of the University of Lethbridge, particularly his computational work on Auditory Scene Analysis.
