Peyro, Mohaddeseh

Mohaddeseh Peyro is an academic year adjunct lecturer in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering at Santa Clara University. Prior to that, she was a postdoctoral scholar at University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. Peyro received her bachelor’s degree and her master of science from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Tehran, Iran. She then moved to the US to pursue her PhD studies in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of California, Berkeley. Her Ph.D. research was focused on computational modeling of an intricate protein complex on the surface of the cell, named nuclear pore complex. Dr. Peyro’s interdisciplinary training provides her with a deep foundation in the field of Mechanical Engineering as well as a great interest in the field of Biomechanics.

Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley, 2020
M.Sc., University of Tehran, 2013
B.S., University of Tehran, 2010

Berkeley Graduate Fellowship, 2014
