About this team member
Kazem obtained his B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology in 2005, his M.Sc. in the same field from the University of Isfahan in 2009, and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with a specialization in polymers from the University of Toledo in 2016. As a postdoc in the Banaszak Holl lab, he worked on the enhancement of polymeric materials properties via application of new chemistries and microwave. Kazem is currently an R&D Engineer at DAK Americas, which is one of the largest integrated producers of PET resins in the world.
