I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and currently work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology).
Key topics that I teach for this course include:
• Calculus: Differentiation & integration, Multivariable calculus
• Linear Algebra: Matrices, vectors, systems of equations, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
• Differential Equations: First- and second-order ODEs, Laplace transforms
• Complex Numbers: Polar form, Euler’s formula
• Vector Calculus: Gradient, divergence, curl, Line and surface integrals
• Series & Transforms: Taylor series, Fourier series
I understand that not all teachers excel in teaching Engineering and Mathematics courses and explaining their importance to students. Courses with strong mathematical backgrounds may become boring for students who lack a solid mathematical basis. To address this, I take a student-centered approach, starting from the basics to actively engage all students, including those with weaker mathematical backgrounds. I also provide practical examples to demonstrate the real-world significance of what they are learning, inspiring and fostering their interest in the subject matter.

I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and currently, I am working as a post-doctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology).
I have extensive experience in teaching various Mechanical design packages, including LS-DYNA, ANSYS, APDL programming, ABAQUS, MATLAB, SolidWorks, Cura, and Symbolic MATLAB.
Some of the finite element modeling and numerical simulations I have worked on include:
- Multiscale finite element modeling for fatigue crack propagation in porous materials.
- Analysis of multiple-layer sandwich structures' resistance to bird-strike impact [Read paper].
- Investigation of debonding propagation in aluminum and glass/epoxy composite joints under fatigue loading using Fracture Mechanics principles.
- Computational prediction of the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured porous metallic biomaterials.
- Study of the effect of material type, stacking sequence, and impact location on pedestrian head injury in collisions.

You will learn Systematic Reasoning & Logical Thinking which is a requirement for entering Computer Science program in many universities.
The book “Delftse Foundations of Computation” especially its second chapter will be the main source of our lesson, but other more in-depth books will be also covered if you want to improve even further on logical thinking.
The topics in our lesson include:
• Propositional Logic: Logical operators; Precedence rules; Logical equivalence; Implications in English; Exclusive or; Universal operators; Classifying propositions
• Boolean Algebra: Substitution laws
• Logic Circuits: Logic gates; Combining gates to create circuits; From circuits to propositions; Disjunctive Normal Form; Binary addition.
• Predicate Logic: Predicates; Quantifiers; Tarski’s world and formal structures;
• Deduction: Valid arguments and proofs; Proofs in predicate logic

This tutoring class is designed to support Mechanical Engineering students in mastering core concepts of thermodynamics. I cover key topics such as the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, energy conservation, entropy, thermodynamic cycles (Carnot, Rankine, Otto, Brayton), and the analysis of closed and open systems. Emphasis is placed on clear explanations, worked examples, and strategies for solving complex engineering problems.
Core Thermodynamics topics that I teach include:
• Basic Concepts: Systems (closed, open), properties, processes, and energy forms
• First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy conservation in closed and open systems
• Applications: turbines, compressors, nozzles, heat exchangers
• Properties of Substances: Phase changes, property tables, ideal gas law, P-v-T behavior
• Second Law of Thermodynamics: Heat engines, refrigerators, Carnot cycle, reversibility
• Entropy: Entropy changes, T-s diagrams, irreversibility
• Thermodynamic Cycles: Otto, Diesel, Rankine, Brayton, and vapor-compression cycles

We had some start-up problems with the online connection but half an hour later the lesson was on. Reza seems knowledgeable and my son felt comfortable so we will continue with him.
He explains everything very well and in details :)
Reza is a tutor who can make your son or daughter loves engineering, my son learned a lot and feels motivated to be a successful engineer because of Reza.
Thank you Reza
Good and flexible
Extremely professional and knowledgeable with any problem that I have had. Reza is always polite, friendly and always shows great patience, which I believe is of the highest importance when learning difficult subjects.
I highly recommend him as a teacher!
