Education and career

edit

Nima completed his Bachelor of Science in physics from Sharif University of Technology in 2006.[1] For his graduate studies, Nima went on to obtain his Ph.D in physics from McGill University in 2012. During his Ph.D, he worked on three dimensional massive gravity in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence.[4] After his Ph.D, Nima joined the University of British Columbia as a postdoctoral fellow from 2012-13. He then moved to Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics as a visiting scholar for a year in 2013. He then spent time at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral researcher from 2015-17 and continued there as a Simons It from Qubit[5] fellow from 2017-18. He was a member of the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study from 2018-19.[3] He joined Purdue University faculty in 2019 as an assistant professor.
