Mohammadali Foroozandeh

Mohammadali Foroozandeh is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford. His research focuses on designing novel methodologies for magnetic resonance spectroscopy, particularly in quantum control, signal processing, and quantum bio-sensing using diamond nitrogen-vacancy defects. He holds a MSc in Physical Chemistry from Tehran, Iran, and a PhD from the University of Geneva, followed by postdoctoral work at the University of Manchester with Professors Gareth Morris and Mathias Nilsson. His work bridges chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science, emphasizing trans-disciplinary collaboration.

Education includes:

• MSc in Physical Chemistry, Tehran, Iran (top 0.5% entrance exam)
• PhD in Chemistry, University of Geneva, Switzerland (2009-2013)
• Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Manchester (2013-2018)

Research interests include optimal control of quantum spin systems, ultrafast NMR/ESR methodologies, and the development of ultrasensitive magnetometers for biomedical applications. His Royal Society Fellowship (2018) supports independent research in these areas. He advocates for early-career researcher support and trans-disciplinary science.

Scientific Awards:

• Royal Society University Research Fellowship (2018-present)

Advising and Grants: Currently focused on independent research funding through the Royal Society Fellowship. No formal advisees listed, but collaborates widely in quantum sensing and spectroscopy.

Labs/Teams: Active in Oxford’s Chemistry Department’s magnetic resonance group, specializing in quantum bio-sensing and spectroscopic innovation.
