Amir did his BSc at Sharif University of Technology (SUT), the most prestigious technical university in Iran. He joined polymeric materials research group since 2012, and received his MSc in Materials Engineering from SUT. For the MSc project, he worked on thermoplastic starch (TPS)/cellulose nanofibers (CNF) biocomposites, under the supervision of Professor Bagheri. He synthesized a fully biodegradable nanocomposite, and evaluated the effects of CNF on mechanical and biodegradation of TPS. His research interests lie in the area of mechanical properties of biopolymers and polymer composites, ranging from material design to the performance of the final product. He also works on micro/nano materials, and bio-based polymers as drug carriers under the supervision of Professor Karimi and Professor Hamblin from Harvard Medical School. Now, he works at Parsa Polymer Sharif, involved in thermoplastics compounding. He would also like to thank Professor Karimi and Professor Hamblin for the opportunity to contribute and most importantly learn about such drug delivery systems.
