Dr. Seyed Sadeghi Associate Professor, Physics & Astronomy Department Biography I was born in Iran where I did part of my graduate school. I continued my education at the University of Toronto for my MSc degree in 1991 and attended the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, for my Ph.D in 1993. After graduation I was a National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto before I joined industry as materials and laser designer and University of McMaster as senior research scientist. In 2007 I joined The University of Alabama in Huntsville as a Physics faculty.
