10 June - 15 December 2009:
Awarding a 6-month USO-SP Marie Curie research (traineeship) fellowship at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo, Norway.
I worked on reduction of a SST data set, using the MOMFBD (Multi-Object Multi-Frame Blind Deconvolution) image restoration technique and under the supervision of Dr. Luc Rouppe van der Voort.
On 15 April 2009, I successfully defended my master thesis titled
"Detection of Faint Stars near Gaia Objects". The PDF version report of this successful research work, which I
proudly did under the supervision of Professor Lennart Lindegren, can be found here.
On February 2009, I joined the "100 Hours of Astronomy" team by blogging at this project's website. "100 Hours of Astronomy" was an official cornerstone project of the International Year of Astronomy 2009.
Together with some colleagues, I also organized different public outreach activities for the "100 Hours of Astronomy" event in Lund, Sweden.
During 9-10 February, 2009, I
was participating in "Extreme Astrophysics for All", a workshop on both high-energy astrophysics as well as gravitational-wave astronomy; held at Lund Observatory, Lund, Sweden.
During October 13-18, 2008, I was
participating in the
"I-science workshop on data mining, distributed computing and visualization for astronomy"
at Lorentz Center, Leiden Observatory, in the Netherlands.

From August 10 to August 24,
2008, I
was participating in the Nordic-Baltic Research School 2008
with the topic of Observational Stellar Astrophysics, held at the Moletai Observatory in
Lithuania.
This school was financially supported by NordForsk, the Nordic
Research Board operating under the Nordic Council of Ministers for Education and Research.

From June 22, 2008, I had
a great vacation starting with a 20 days ground trip (with a good
friend) from Lund (Sweden) to Tehran (Iran), travelling through
Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Greece and
Turkey :)
Participating in "Crafoord Day 2008",
featuring the 2008 Crafoord Laureates in Mathematics and Astrophysics, on April 21, 2008; at Lund
University in Lund, Sweden.
I had the following courses at Lund Observatory during
January-June 2008:
 Statistical and Numerical Tools in Astrophysics
II,
given by
Lennart Lindegren and David Hobbs
Observational Techniques and Instrumentation,
given by
Lennart Lindegren
Laboratory Astrophysics,
given by
Henrik Hartman and Hampus Nilsson
Participating in "Gaia for all", a mini-workshop on Gaia, on February 4-5, 2008; at Lund Observatory in Lund, Sweden.
I had the following course at Lund Observatory during
November-December 2007:
Statistical and Numerical Tools in Astrophysics
I,
given by
Lennart Lindegren
In November 29-30, 2007, I participated in the "Symposium on Extremely Large Telescopes" at Lund Observatory, Lund, Sweden.
From August 5 till November 2,
2007, I spent my time interning at SST (Swedish Solar Telescope) at
ENO (European Northern Observatory) in La Palma (Canaries, Spain); under a generous grant from the
Institute for Solar Physics under the auspices of the
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The main goal of this grant was to enrich the experiential training of the professional solar observation as well as working as a student support astronomer at the current best high resolution solar telescope
located in top of a high mountain (2400 m from sea level) in La Palma Island in Atlantic Ocean.
In addition, I participated in the following events, in La Palma:
