Prof. Dr. Masoud Mirzaei

Masoud Mirzaei was born in 1980 in Tehran, Iran. He received his B.Sc. degree from the IAU in 2003 and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from FUM in 2006 and 2010. He completed his doctoral thesis under the supervision of professors Hossein Eshtiagh-Hosseini and the late Hossein Aghabozorg. He started his career as an assistant professor at FUM in 2010 and was promoted to associate professor and professor in 2013 and 2018, respectively. His research interests focus on inorganic-organic hybrids based on polyoxometalates and coordination polymers. He has published more than 180 ISI cited papers, reviews and one book chapter in LAP so far. He has served as a reviewer for scientific journals from all continents, and has reviewed many manuscripts. In my research group at FUM, we differentiate between POMOFs where the POM is part of the actual framework (as node or linker) and POM@MOFs where the POM sits within the MOF pores.
