Adam completed his undergraduate studies in Cellular and Molecular Biology, and then, with a passion for merging computational techniques with physical biology, his Master's degree in Biophysics in University of Tehran. During his master's program, Adam focused on simulating the direct effects of proton on DNA using a Monte Carlo simulation toolkit, showcasing his dedication to the field. Following his master's degree, Adam decided to continue his pursuit of knowledge within the academic realm. He worked as the central lab technician at his MSc.'s department, gaining hands-on experience for two years. Simultaneously, he collaborated with a faculty member, serving as both a teaching assistant and a researcher. Adam explored the ways of utilizing Radical Pair Mechanism in biology as a novel approach to cancer treatment. In the spring of 2022, Adam embarked on a new chapter in his academic journey by joining ASU (Arizona State University). Initially part of Matyushov's lab, he later also joined Singharoy's group to contribute to a collaborative project between the two research teams. Adam's enthusiasm lies in theoretical and computational science. Outside of academia, Adam finds joy in indulging his passion for anime, science fiction movies, video games, and engaging in meaningful social interactions, especially through his vibrant sense of humor.
