I have known Mostafa since 2015 as a graduate student in the research group of Prof. John McCloy at Washington State University. We have collaborated on research projects related with nepheline crystallization in high level nuclear waste glasses and co-authored several journal and conference articles and presentations. Mostafa is an excellent researcher with strong work ethics, very good scientific acumen and excellent oral and written communication skills. Mostafa earns my highest recommendation, and I’m excited to see where he goes next.

I have known Mostafa since he became my PhD student in Spring 2015. Mostafa is mature, independent, and responsible. He is experienced in performing research, writing, and communicating scientific work. He is creative and resourceful at finding relevant literature and scientific explanations for collected data. He is adept at synthesizing ceramics and glasses at high temperatures using a variety of laboratory equipment. Mostafa works very well with other students, both as a peer and as a supervisor, and is always very helpful and willing to assist wherever needed. Mostafa is also becoming involved in professional societies, being very active on the student side of the American Ceramic Society. I originally hired Mostafa for his knowledge of magnetism. He has since learned a tremendous amount about glass science and materials characterization, and has maintained an outstanding 3.95/4.0 grade point average. His primary PhD research is focused on synthesis and crystallization of sodium-iron-aluminosilicate glasses. In his time at WSU, he has developed strong expertise x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement and Rietveld analysis, electron microprobe analysis (EPMA), as well as vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Additionally, he has analyzed data from Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and solution-based colorimetry spectroscopy. Mostafa has been instrumental in introducing magnetic measurements into the characterization of glasses for nuclear wastes and engaging with the geology community on iron-containing natural glasses. His work has so far been part of 5 publications. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Mostafa Ahmadzadeh. I have no doubt that he will excel in any opportunity given to him.
