Postdoctoral Fellow Profile: Amir Reza Razmi

Tell us about your research and why you find it fascinating:

My research is conducted as part of an interdisciplinary research group focused on the integration of low-carbon solutions, such as vehicle electrification, micro-mobility, and advanced transportation planning to support the transition to cleaner and more sustainable urban mobility. Within this context, my expertise and research interest lie in hydrogen energy, particularly in the techno-economic and life cycle assessment of hydrogen production and utilization systems.

What do you aspire to create/learn/accomplish during your time at SFU?

During my time at SFU, I aspire to develop my leadership and management skills by mentoring graduate students and gaining hands-on experience in preparing professional proposals to secure research funding. I also look forward to opportunities to engage in teaching, which will allow me to strengthen my instructional and communication abilities for my long-term career goal of contributing to academia.

What’s your best advice for other postdocs and researchers as they embark on their new projects and studies?

I would suggest approaching new projects with curiosity and persistence, and not being afraid to collaborate across disciplines as this often sparks the most interesting ideas. Stay organized, remain flexible when things don’t go as planned, and balance creativity with meaningful research while fostering professional growth.
