| Academic career | Dr. Morteza Hosseini Ghaffari graduated with B.Sc. (2004) and M.Sc. (2007) degrees in Animal Sciences from University of Kurdistan and Isfahan University of Technology, respectively. In 2013, he obtained his Ph.D. in Animal Science (Ruminant Nutrition) from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. For sabbatical leave (2011-2012), he joined the Rumen Microbiology Group at the University of Western Australia. He then spent one year to complete his postdoctoral training in Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science at University of Alberta, Canada (2016-2017). He currently supervises MSc and Ph.D. students, and his research is focused on dairy cows and calves, integrating and advancing biostatistical approaches into physiology. He has established productive collaborations with working groups throughout Canada, Iran, the USA, New Zealand, and Europe and published over 80 peer-reviewed publications, 25 conference abstracts, and gave numerous presentations at scientific and industry meetings in the last five years. | |
