Professional journey

For more than two decades, I have worked at the intersection of sterilization, medical devices, quality assurance, and technology. This journey began with medical-product development and manufacturing in Iran and continued with the establishment of Sterdoc B.V. in the Netherlands, specialist education, applied research, and collaboration with international professional networks.

Education, research, and innovation

Throughout my career, I have delivered more than one thousand hours of specialist courses, workshops, and presentations for sterilization and medical-device professionals. My academic and professional education spans software engineering, microbiology and sterilization, management, strategy, and organizational leadership. This combination allows me to approach CSSD challenges from scientific, engineering, and managerial perspectives.

As the inventor behind several international inventions, I devote part of my professional work to turning real sterilization and medical-device challenges into practical solutions. My innovation work includes solutions for wet-steam detection and a combined process challenge device concept. Recent research and presentations have focused on the future of sterilization indicators, risk management in developing countries, and the intelligent integration of AI and the Internet of Things in CSSD.

Books and knowledge sharing

I am the author of the Persian Encyclopedia of Sterilization and the translator of specialist resources including World Health Organization guidance, flexible-endoscope reprocessing, sterilization in hospitals and healthcare facilities, and infection control in nursing homes. I also lead Sterile.ir, a Persian scientific publication focused on sterilization, disinfection, infection prevention, and medical-device reprocessing.

International activity

As Iran’s representative in WFHSS, I have participated in international congresses and professional programmes for more than a decade. My scientific presentations in Australia, Turkey, Spain, Belgium, Colombia, and Chile have brought the experience and challenges of developing countries into the global sterilization discussion. I also delivered a specialist presentation for Getinge managers in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. These activities are intended to strengthen scientific cooperation, exchange practical experience, and improve patient safety.
