Amir Taheridehkordi was born in Shooshtar, Iran, in 1985. He received the B.Sc. degree in Physics from the Sharif University of Technology (SUT), Tehran, Iran, in 2009, and the M.Sc. degree in Physics from the University of Ferrara (UNIFE), Ferrara, Italy, in 2017. He joined the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography, Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), as a PhD student, in 2017. His main research interests include theoretical and computational analysis of spin systems. Throughout the last year of his master studies he worked on the Classical spin-1 Ising model and its Critical Behavior in Condensed Matter Physics. The project focused on evaluation of critical properties of the model using different analytical solutions of the model such as mean-field theory, series expansion, and transfer matrix and Monte Carlo simulation of the system as a numerical tool. Currently he is pursuing his PhD in Theoretical and Computational Condensed Matter Physics and working as a research assistant at MUN, where he is investigating Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations of Spin Correlation Functions.
