My main research interest is the investigation of processes relating to igneous and metamorphic rocks, magma evolution and emplacement in the Earth’s crust, mineralogy, volcanology and gemology.
I am interested in magma processes and recently Damavand volcano attract my attention to assess its pre-eruptive processes and anthropogenic triggering of eruption. It is very interesting and important subject because this volcano that is the highest volcano in Asia, has vital influence in about 20 million people's life. Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) and rock magnetism is my another interest and I did two projects about these subjects at ETH, Zurich, Switzerland. Geochemistry that provides most useful technique for identifying of natural variations in the relative abundances of various geological systems is a subject that I always like to know about more and more.
I am also interested in the beautiful minerals (gemstones). Their geological and gemological features have always attracted my attention and I have been interested in gemstones, especially diamonds, for about 20 years and I have been working professionally in this field. So far I have written three books about diamonds in Persian language. The study of meteorites has also attracted my interest day by day!
