My project focuses on developing and applying an electronic nose (e-nose) using insects' olfactory receptors. Before joining UMD, I earned two Master of Science degrees. Recently, I completed a second M.Sc. in Neuroscience at West Virginia University, with a thesis on “Characterization of a descending neuron that modulates flight performance and provides input onto a flight-related predictive motor circuit" in Dr. Kevin Daly lab. Also, I have got my first M.Sc., from Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, Iran, where I examined the “Optical Stimulation Effects of Glutamatergic Striatal Neurons Inside of Subventricular Zone on Neurological Disorders in Brain Ischemia Animal Model”.
