Biography
Since completing his PhD in Neurophysics (Brain Physics) at the Department of Physics of Washington University in St. Louis, USA, Dr. Reza Khanbabaie has engaged in a 4-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ottawa. Motivated by his passion for teaching and his desire to impart physics concepts informed by the latest insights from Neuroscience in education (Neuroeducation), he began teaching undergraduate physics courses from 2008 to 2020 at the University of Ottawa as a Part-time and Adjunct Professor. He developed Supervised Self-Learning Practical (SSLP) Method of teaching physics based on Neuroeducation.
From 2011 to 2018, he was assistant professor of physics at the Babol Noshirvani University of Technology. During his tenure, he served as the chair of the Department of Physics for 2 years and as the director of undergraduate physics laboratories for 4 years. Dr. Khanbabaie exhibits a profound interest in fostering connections between undergraduate students and research and innovations. Together with his undergraduate students, he has been involved in more than 10 registered patents and the establishment of 3 startups. Dr. Khanbabaie established the National Physics Hands-on Projects Competition.
