Biography

Afshin graduated with PhD in Analytical Chemistry from Tarbiat Modares University (Tehran, Iran), 2013. His thesis was focused on synthesis and application of nanostructured metal oxides for supercaps. In 2014, he joined ECP unit in Imdea Energy Institute, Madrid, as a Marie-Curie Research fellow (AMAROUT EU program), where he was in charge of development of graphene-based nanocomposites for various energy storage applications (hybrid energy storage devices and electrocatalysts for metal-air batteries). In 2018, he joined CIC energiGUNE as a postdoctoral researcher where he employed advanced physical characterizations (e.g. small angle X-ray scattering) for tuning the materials performance (specifically various types of carbon) through mechanistic studies for battery applications (SIBs and LIBs). He is coauthor of more than 20 high-impact factor publications (majority as the main author) with an h-index > 12. He has experience in supervising several master students and interns for their final projects and co-supervised one PhD dissertation defended in 2019. Since Nov. 2020 he joined Multifunctional Nanocomposites Group in Imdea Materials Institute where he is studying the application of gas-phase synthesized 1D nanomaterials for energy storage applications.
