Education

Mohammadmahdi Negaresh obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Polymer Engineering from Amirkabir University in September 2015. During his undergraduate studies, he conducted research on the stability of water-based acrylic resins as part of his final project, working within the Polymerization Group under the supervision of Dr. Pourmahdian.

In 2017, he earned a Master's degree in Polymer Engineering from Amirkabir University. His master's thesis involved research within the Plastic Processing Group, under the guidance of Prof. Javadi and Prof. Garmabi. His project focused on the compatibility of PLA/PCL blends containing nanocalcium carbonate. He successfully published three ISI-indexed papers derived from his thesis work. Additionally, he carried out research on polymer long-chain branching to enhance processability and performed simulations of polymer evolution during processing. During his master's studies, he was awarded a 14-day summer school scholarship in China, where he gained exposure to new methodologies in polymer analysis.

Following his graduation, he was employed by two polymer industrial companies in the capacity of a Research and Development Specialist. His primary responsibilities included optimizing existing product formulations and designing new products in accordance with specified requirements. Subsequently, he served in a laboratory environment, where he performed various tests to analyze the properties of polymer products. During this period, he also contributed as a team member to the translation and editing of an ISO standard under the auspices of the Iran National Standards Organization.

Research

Since May 2025, he has been pursuing his PhD at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), within the Polymat research center—the Basque Center for Macromolecular Design and Engineering. He is supervised by Prof. Maria Paulis and Dr. Shaghayegh Hamzehlou. His research project is part of the Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) and focuses on understanding and improving substrate adhesion of polymer dispersions.
