Biotechnology, Cell BiologyPhytotron Research Facility Manager, Queen's University, Kingston, CanadaEmail address:H-index: 6 (Scopus) Dr. Mobini has a passion for horticulture, plant physiology, and plant breeding, with an impactful contribution to research, education, and extension practice. He received his Ph.D. in Agro-Biotechnology and Crop Production Systems from UPM and M.Sc. in Agronomy and Plant Breeding from FUM. Mobini developed novel concepts for improving plant growth and production at the University of Saskatchewan, recognized as Speed Breeding (first published in 2015), which became a popular research tool worldwide. Designing cutting-edge indoor growing setup, assisting plant breeders/ agrobiologists are his approach. Capturing modern technologies, such as light manipulation for better plant growth, aeroponics and bioreactor systems, plant factory design, micropropagation, and high throughput phenomics are his recent achievements. Mobini’s recent affiliations are a director of R&D in the horticulture industry and Greenhouse Research Scientist at Crop Research Extension Section in Alberta Agriculture and Forestry CANADA. He has been internationally recognized for his outstanding research, outreach, and educational programs to support graduate studies at the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Saskatchewan as well as co-supervising graduate students in the Department of Horticultural Science and Landscape at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. In his roles, Mobini has provided leadership to comprehensive applied research programs as well as the multidisciplinary approach in executing and supervising indoor trials, design, and conduct laboratory experiments, translating visionary science to practice in different settings of tissue culture, growth chamber, greenhouse, and urban farming.
