Profile
<p align="justify">
Amir is a physicist with a background in optics. His current research interests include developing a fast and single-molecule sensitive fluorescent-activated cell sorting (smFACS) technique employing high-resolution oblique plane microscopy. In addition, Amir has a keen interest in single-molecule localization microscopy, with a particular focus on investigating the dynamic properties of protein networks. Prior to commencing his doctorate program at the University of Leeds in 2021, Amir engaged in super-resolution microscopy at various esteemed research institutes worldwide. The following institutes represent a selection of institutions where he has furthered his research endeavours:
