Biography

Biography
Dr. Amin Mehrehjedy is a lecturer in the Department of Chemistry. He received his M.Sc. in Inorganic Chemistry from the Iran University of Science and Technology, where his research focused on the synthesis and characterization of metal oxide composites for use as photocatalysts in the photodegradation of organic dyes in wastewater.
He later joined the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) to pursue his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry under the supervision of Dr. Song Guo. His doctoral research centered on the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their composites as visible-light photocatalysts.

In addition to his work on photocatalytic materials, Dr. Mehrehjedy has designed several biosensors using conjugated polymers and molecularly imprinted polymers for the selective and sensitive detection of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin in biological fluids.
