Biography
I am an Assistant Professor of English in the Department of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University, Tabriz, Iran, where I teach various English Literature courses. I obtained my B. A. degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Tehran, my M. A. degree in English Literature from the University of Shiraz, and my Ph. D. degree from the University of York, UK, where I completed my doctoral thesis entitled "The Entry of John Keats's Letters into Critical Discourse, 1836-1895". My Ph. D. thesis was successfully and thankfully turned into an ISI indexed book entitled *John Keats: From Oblivion to Rise to Worldwide Renown, 1817-1895 (A Study of the Impact of the Gradual Release of Keats's Letters on the Development of His Character and Poetic Fame)* on the fame and reputation of John Keats during the Victorian period. The book also got recognition in British Association for Romantic Studies Archives and Keats-Shelley Memorial Association.
Humbly, I have several times been recognized as a top nominee for Excellence in Teaching Award; received Excellence in Teaching Award in 2018.
I have presented articles on English and related Literature at several national and international conferences. I have published some articles on English Language and Literature, Persian Literature, and Comparative Literature in national and international journals. I am on the Editorial Board of *Research Scholar: An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations*; I am the language editor of *The Journal of Applied Linguistics and Applied Literature: Dynamics and Advances* (JALDA).
My main areas of research include Romanticism(s) and Comparative Literature (comparative study of topics in Romanticism(s) (British and Iranian)).
I have acted as supervisor and advisor for many M. A. theses.
My first PhD student successfully defended his dissertation on *Walt Whitman, the Poet and the Mystic*.
I have successfully advised my first PhD student of Persian Literature working on the critical reception of Hafiz Shirazi's Poetry in 19th century Britain (PhD dissertation in English and Persian).

Characterized, most thankfully and humbly, by a University President (as [to use William Hazlitt's terms] "[like] persons . . . [we all] would have wished to have [been]"), by a Dean of the Faculty (as "robust and progressive"), by a Vice-Dean for Research of the Faculty (as [again to use Hazlitt's terminology] "[like] persons . . . [we all] would have wished to have [been]"). I was most happily spoken of by an MP (and full professor of chemistry) as "one of the greatest professors of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani university" (on 6 Dec. 2023).
Joined JALDA's (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Applied Literature: Dynamics and Advances) editorial board in January 2024.
