Summary

I am a first year Transportation Technology and Policy PhD student at the Institute of Transportation Studies at University of California, Davis. Right now I am doing research on Fossil Fuel area through Sustainable Transportation Energy Pathways (STEPS) program. Also hydrogen and biofuels areas are two other energy fields that I am interested.

Current Project

Currently I am studying the relation between National and International Oil Companies. In particular I am doing research on National Iranian Oil Company’s oil and gas Buy Back Service Contracts.
