Research Fellow, Faculty of Engineering
Helia is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Nottingham. She completed her bachelor's degree in physics and her master's degree in condensed matter physics at the University of Tehran, Iran. Then she obtained her PhD in experimental optics at Shahid Beheshti University, Iran in 2020. Her research involves studying the properties of the materials using optical techniques, such as interferometry, diffractometry, and statistical optics. She joined the Manufacturing and Metrology Team of the University of Nottingham in 2021. Her research interest is the development of optical methods for surface topography measurement.
