Hi there! I am Mojtaba Barzegari, a passionate postdoctoral researcher in computational engineering. From scientific computing to high-performance computing and computational chemical / biomedical engineering - I love finding novel ways to put computers at work on real-life problems. I am particularly comfortable with multi-disciplinary endeavors in mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering disciplines (chemical / biomedical / mechanical), chemistry, life sciences (medical- or bio-science) and materials science.
Currently, I work as a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Postdoctoral Fellow in the Electrochemical Materials and Processes group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), where I model electrochemical processes of energy storage / conversion systems. Prior to that, I was a PhD researcher at KU Leuven, Belgium, doing high-performance computational modeling on biomechanics and tissue engineering processes. I earned my BSc and MSc in materials science and biomedical engineering, respectively, both of which focused the combination of numerical analysis and computational intelligence. Moreover, I have worked on Machine Learning and data analysis projects in medicine, biology, industrial automation, and internet of things (IoT). For a comprehensive overview of my research experiences, please refer to my Research Portfolio.
But wait, there’s more! Since 2003 I have been involved in building software for just over 21 years now and that has included projects from IoT & embedded systems to large-scale enterprise applications. I am a huge fan of the open-source software development model, and in scientific computing specifically I’m firmly on the side of open-source and open-science. Just look at the TuxRiders project for a good example.
To gain further insight into my background, feel free to peruse my CV. The source code of my CV is available on this repository, granting you the chance to create your own if you like its format. (An outdated less-compact version is available here.)
Outside of science, I play bass and electric guitar poorly in order to sound vaguely pleasant to the ear. I am a keen chess player, and famous chess players are my celebrities so I enjoy watching / following them a lot. And let’s not forget my love for chatting with people - whether it’s discussing the mysteries of the universe or debating the best recipe for a specific food, I’m happy to talk about what’s on everybody’s mind.
