My name is Amir Sepehrianazar. I hold a PhD in Polymer Science and Engineering from Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey, which I completed in 2007. I completed my postdoctoral research in 2008 and have been serving as a faculty member at the Islamic Azad University, Ahar Branch, since 2009. Since 2020, I focused on allylic-based polymers and hydrogels. I have developed a research interest in polymerization, copolymerization, and nanocomposites. Currently, my research focuses on allylic polymers, aiming to bridge scientific knowledge with industrial applications. I am highly proficient in a variety of polymer characterization techniques, including FT-IR, NMR, ATR, and TGA-DSC. In 2025, I officially achieved the degree of Associate Professor, continuing my academic and research activities with great enthusiasm.
