Adam completed his undergraduate studies in Cellular and Molecular Biology and then went on to earn a Master's degree in Biophysics at the University of Tehran, where he combined his interest in theory/computation with physical biology. For his MSc. thesis, he worked on simulating the direct effects of proton beams on DNA using the Monte Carlo simulation toolkit, GEANT4-DNA. Eager to learn more, Adam spent two years as a central lab technician, gaining valuable hands-on experience. During this time, he also worked as a teaching assistant, and a researcher, exploring new ways to use the Radical Pair Mechanism in Biology as a possible approach to cancer treatment. In the spring of 2022, Adam joined Arizona State University as a member of Matyushov's lab. Adam persuits theoretical/computational science. During his PhD, he has been collaborating with Kevin Reding, Abhishie Singharoy, and Matthias Heyden.
