Adam was born in Iran. He finished his undergraduate study in Cellular and Molecular Biology. He got his Master's in Biophysics at the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics research (IBB), University of Tehran. Adam has tilted his path towards more computational physical biology. His MSc. thesis was a simulation of direct effects of proton irradiation on DNA using a Monte Carlo simulation toolkit. Afterward, he chose to remain in the academic environment. Thus, he persuaded the IBB dean so he could work in that department as the central lab technician for two years. Meanwhile, he collaborated with one of the faculty members of the IBB as both TA and researcher, working on a new approach towards cancer treatment using a recently discovered mechanism called Radical Pair Mechanism. He was admitted to ASU in the spring of 2022 and joined Matyushov's lab. At the end of his first year, he joined Singharoy's group to work on a common project between the two groups. Adam is quite enthusiastic about theoretical/computational science. He also loves watching science fiction movies, hiking, biking, and socializing with people.
