S. Mohammad Ahmadi

Welcome! I am a recent graduate of the University of Tehran, applying for PhD programs in Physics. My research interests include inflation (theory and observations), primordial black holes and gravitational waves, string cosmology, and quantum gravity. For further information on my research interests, please refer to the Thesis Summary or Publications pages. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Research Experience

Jan 2023 – Present
University of Tehran

Inflation Model Building

  • Developed a generalized model of constant-roll inflation.
  • Investigated the potential formation of primordial black holes in different inflationary scenarios.
  • Created a unified framework for analyzing featured inflationary potentials.
  • StudyingdeviationsfromGaussianstatisticsusingbothperturbativeandnon-perturbativemethods.
  • Checking the validity of Maldacena’s consistency relation.
  • My research resulted in a first-author paper.

Work Experience

2015 - 2019
Founder

Onbik (E-Commerce Organisation)

I initiated my online business with a focus on importing, selling, and educating intellectual toys. Upon gaining admission to the University of Tehran, I resigned from my job to dedicate myself to my studies.

Volunteering Activities

2021

Technical Assistant at “The Physics Society of Iran Annual Meeting 2021”

  • Provided support to speakers and attendees.
  • Contributed to the organization of meeting rooms and provided leadership support.

2021

Numerical evaluation of correlation functions in QSFI

  • Utilized Wolfram Mathematica to perform a comprehensive analysis of the power spectrum and nonGaussianity parameter in quasi-single field inflation.

2014

Managing a website for science news

  • Led the design and development of a website dedicated to science news.
  • Successfully mobilized and led a team of students in content creation, featuring scientific news, and providing relevant course materials.

2013

Generating practical Rubik’s Cube algorithms with Python

  • As a speedcuber (someone who competitively solves combination puzzles), I was looking for optimum algorithms to solve the Rubik’s Cube. I developed a Python program to generate and analyze all potential solutions for a specific cube configuration.
