Morteza Khodaei Vaighan

M.Sc. School of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, University of Tehran
B.Sc. Department of Material Science and Engineering, Sharif University of Technology

My research interests lie at the intersection of biomaterials, smart drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering, with a long-standing focus on wound healing, orthopedic regeneration, and infection-responsive therapeutics. I have worked on designing antibacterial drug delivery systems using anodized titanium nanotubes capped with smart polymers for infection control. Currently, my projects involve developing hydrogel-based therapies for scarless wound healing, engineering cardiac patches for myocardial repair, and fabricating advanced scaffolds for skin and bone tissue regeneration. Through integrating nanotechnology, polymers, and regenerative medicine, I strive to translate material innovations into effective clinical solutions.

About Myself

Since high school, I have actively pursued training across engineering disciplines and emerging technologies, driven by a deep fascination with innovation and the development of modern solutions. My interest in technology and applied sciences led me to rank in the top 2% of Iran’s national entrance exam and begin my studies in Materials Science and Engineering at Sharif University of Technology in 2019. During this time, my aspirations gradually shifted toward biomedical applications and the intersection of engineering and medical science.

I developed a keen interest in using materials science to address biological challenges, particularly in designing intelligent therapeutic systems that integrate engineering principles with medical needs. This motivation shaped my path into the biomedical field, where I continued my M.Sc. at the University of Tehran, focusing on skin healing and regenerative medicine. Currently, I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of surgeons on projects aimed at scarless wound healing, advancing my academic and clinical experience.

Beyond academia, I am also passionate about website design and development, which I pursue alongside my research interests. Also, I have a deep passion for sports — especially running. I regularly participate in marathons and various tournaments, always chasing the next personal best (and sometimes just the finish line!). I’m also an avid football player and an even more dedicated fan, never missing a good match or a heated debate about it.

On the social side, I enjoy being on stage, whether hosting ceremonies, engaging in public speaking, or just connecting with people in vibrant settings. These experiences have fueled my love for social interaction and made me appreciate the power of communication both in and out of academia.

(Although, if you ask my friends, they might say, “Enough already, how extroverted can one person be?” 🙂 )
