Biography in Short

 

 

H.A. Khonakdar earned BSc from Isfahan University of Technology and M.Sc from University of Tehran. He studied toward Ph.D. at the Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute. Part of his doctoral research was carried out at the Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung (IPF) Dresden in Germany. He has been working on Polymer Processing and advanced polymeric materials at Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute where he has been Lecturer as of 2002.

Upon completing his Ph.D, he has been continuing his collaboration with Prof. Wagenknecht thus far. The outcome of his mutual collaboration with Prof. Wagenknecht and other colleagues in IPF goes beyond 250 research articles in which he made a great contribution. In August 2006, he was promoted to Associate Professorship in Polymer Processing with special emphasis on Polymer Blends and nanocomposites in IPPI, Iran.

In March 2011, he was awarded the famed Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship from Germany to focus on modeling the interfacial reactions in PET/PEN blends inside a twin screw extruder. He then joined Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung (IPF) Dresden e. V. Germany as a guest researcher from March 2011 till September 2014. He has also been nominated for 63rd interdisciplinary meeting of Nobel Prize Winners in Lindau (30 June-5 July 2013). In November 2014, he was promoted to Professorship in Polymer Processing in IPPI, Iran. He has been as fellow at Leibniz Institute of polymer research Dresden (IPF-Fellow) since 2016 which recently his fellow was extended till September 2022.
