Maziar Sedighi Moghaddam

I’m a senior researcher and project manager working with surface chemistry, functional coatings, wetting, barriers, and biobased polymers. My background is in chemistry and polymer engineering. 

Before joining RISE, I held roles as head of technical support and R&D team member in the polyolefin petrochemical industry, and worked as a polymer expert specializing in the production of BOPP films.

I hold a Ph.D. in Chemistry from KTH, Stockholm, where I studied wood wettability. I also earned MSc and BSc degrees in Polymer Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran.
