My work focuses on the investigation of single organic dye molecules and their coupling to localized vibrational modes within the surrounding crystal matrix.

After earning my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, I pursued a Master's degree at the Max Planck School of Photonics, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Driven by a keen interest in ultrafast optics, I joined Professor Ferenc Krausz's research group at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) in Munich. There, I contributed to the development of chromium-doped zinc sulfide (Cr:ZnS)-based terahertz (THz) technology. Following the completion of my Master's thesis in Munich, I relocated to Erlangen to become part of Professor Vahid Sandoghdar's division at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL). At MPL, I collaborate closely with Dr. Alexey Shkarin on projects focused on coupling organic molecules with long-lived vibrational states.
