Authors
Mohammad Hossein Keshavarz Lecturer and researcher, Malek Ashtar University of Technology, Iran.Dr. Mohammad Hossein Keshavarz has been a lecturer and researcher at the Malek Ashtar University of Technology, Iran, since 1997. Between 1997 and 2008, he served as an Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor of Physical Chemistry at the university's Shahin Shahr campus. His main research interests involve the assessment of properties, performance, and toxicity of materials, with a particular focus on energetic materials-explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics. He has substantial expertise in the prediction and experimental evaluation of the sensitivity of energetic materials to external stimuli, such as electric spark, shock, impact, and friction, as well as the development of empirical and computational models for material behavior. Dr. Keshavarz is also actively involved in safety analysis and the development of innovative handling and testing protocols for hazardous substances.
