ABOUT ME

Saam was born in the United States but grew up in Iran. He graduated from the University of California-Santa Barbara, in spring 2023 with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and joined the Gebbie Lab in fall 2023. Outside of research, he enjoys working out, spending time outdoors, traveling, and exploring minimal techno labels.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Saam is interested in understanding the relationship between ion mobility under equilibrium and concentration gradient driven conditions, particularly in highly correlated systems where thermodynamic non-idealities lead to substantial deviations from classical transport models. His research combines fluorescence microscopy, DOSY NMR, and particle-tracking microrheology to explore the complex world of ionic liquids.
