Bahareh Honarparvar

I was born in Tehran - Iran. I am a theoretical and (computational) chemist with a particular interest in Ab initio study on electronic structures. So, I am interested in molecules and their shapes, properties and vibrational modes of various molecular systems. I do my research in Interdisciplinary Science and Research Center as a PhD candidate in the field of computational chemistry. My major interest is about Molecular Modeling of bimolecular structures via Quantum mechanical calculation of the NQR (Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance) and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) parameters and other physico - chemical properties using computational software to search for a correlation between electronic structure and biological activity of certain compounds, mainly drugs. In other words my attempts have been made in Quantitative structure - Activity Relationships (QSAR) which is quite very suitable for computer-aided drug design. As this work progressed, I developed an interest in computing physico - chemical properties in different solvent media which lead me to electronic structures of compounds.
Though trained as a researcher, I define myself primarily as a project manager and I am eager to engage myself in team working research activities. At Interdisciplinary Science Research Center, where I am completing my PhD program, I manage theses for masters and doctoral students. Also, I have collaboration with the Department of Science, Mathematics and technology education, Research Institution for Curriculum Development & Educational Innovations I am a project manager of the research entitled “Designing and Accrediting an ICT- based Effective Model for Learning and Teaching of Chemistry in High Schools”.
