Mohammad Dehghani is from Isfahan, Iran, where he has finished his bachelor's and Master's degrees in Solid-state Physics. In late 2013, he moved to Leoben, Austria and started working as a research assistant at Materials Center Leoben (MCL) Forschung GmbH. After receiving his PhD in computational solid-state physics from the University of Graz in late 2017, he continued working at MCL as a Postdoc for two more years. His scientific and research background focuses on the Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations of inter-metallic alloys. He has years of experience working on projects focused on computational code development and application on various alloys. He has joined the Institute for Microelectronics in January 2023 and is working on ab initio simulation of quaternary semiconductor alloys.
