Amirhossein Basiratnia

Amirhossein Basiratnia has a diverse work experience in scientific research and laboratory roles. In 2018, they worked as a Laboratory Research Assistant at the University of Waterloo, where they studied and synthesized copper nanoparticle electrodes for CO2 electroreduction applications. Amirhossein used wet and organic chemistry techniques and analyzed electrochemical properties using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry.

In 2019, Amirhossein served as a Research Assistant at the University of Duisburg-Essen, where they investigated thermoelectric and transport properties of impurity doped transition metal-oxides. Amirhossein conducted high-performance simulations on the magnitUDE supercomputer and performed structural optimization calculations using density functional theory and Boltzmann transport theory. Their work focused on transition metal perovskite and molybdenum disulfide systems.

From 2021 to 2022, Amirhossein worked as a Radiochemistry Technologist at Kinectrics. Amirhossein operated, calibrated, and maintained various detectors and counters for dosimetry analysis and radionuclide characterization. Amirhossein prepared samples for alpha and beta analysis by separating isotopes using concentrated acids.

Currently, they are an Associate Scientist II at Alpha-9 Theranostics Inc. starting in 2023. Further details about this role are not available.

Amirhossein Basiratnia obtained a Bachelor's degree in Honours Materials and Nanosciences from the University of Waterloo. Amirhossein attended the university from 2016 to 2021. In addition, they also completed WHMIS Training at the University of Waterloo in 2016.
