I have obtained my PhD in Fisheries Aquatic Ecology from Gorgan University (Iran) in May 2016. My dissertation was a Limnological Study and Fish Stock Assessment of Golbolagh Lake of Kurdistan Province (in Iran). At the end of my Ph.D. candidacy, I have been six months as a Visiting Scholar with the Jordaan Lab at the University of Massachusetts, United States. At the University of Massachusetts, we focused on alewife habitat and feeding, zooplankton diversity and water sampling in several lakes in New England. Currently I am working at Kurdistan University (western Iran) and I am studying limnology and freshwater lake restoration
