I was Assistant Professor at Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran where I taught Biostatistics, epidemiological and research methods subjects. While, I conducted research studies on infectious and non-Infectious diseases at different academic research centres, my main studies was on HIV and AIDS in Iran, Australia and India using cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. I conducted my PhD project to model survival following HIV and AIDS in Australia nationally.

To enhance my skills and data analysis with SAS, I have obtained certification as SAS Base Programmer specialist by SAS Global recently.
