About me

I am Mohammad Javad Mohammadinezhad, a full-time PhD student in Physics at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS) in Zanjan, Iran. Born and raised in Mashhad, I completed my high school education there before pursuing higher education in physics.

My research interests focus on astronomy, astrophysics, and the development of scientific instruments. I am passionate about exploring the universe and advancing experimental physics through innovative device design.

Alongside my academic work, I have contributed as an advisor to the Mayor of Mashhad on youth and student affairs and served as the Head of the Nuclear Science Desk at the Avicenna Student Research Institute. These roles have enriched my leadership and project management skills and deepened my commitment to science education and community engagement.

I strive to combine rigorous scientific research with active involvement in education and public outreach to foster a sustainable and science-driven future.

Department of Physics

The Physics Department has fostered a dynamic environment for comprehensive postgraduate education and research in physics, with a purely scientific and research-oriented focus. This unique setting is free from the typical distractions found in other universities in the country, offering an atmosphere comparable to that of scientific institutions in developed nation.

The Physics Department offers a dynamic, research-focused environment with young, active faculty engaged in international collaborations. With 34 faculty members and over 300 students, it boasts a high faculty-to-student ratio (1:10) and consistently produces high-quality publications.

Our activities in the Department of Physics have led to numerous patents commensurate with the domestic needs of the country as well as publications in high quality journals such as Nature, Physical Review Letters, etc.

Investigation of various phases of soft matter and biological physics, quantum materials, complex systems, classical and quantum optics, cosmology, and the physics of galaxies are among the main research topics pursued at the Department of Physics. So far, more than 900 MSc and PhD students have been graduated from the Physics Department many of whom are currently continuing their studies or working in world class institutions, bearing testament to the quality of education and research offered at this Department.
