Rate My Professor Mohammadreza Hadizadeh

Mohammadreza Hadizadeh is a Professor of Physics at Central State University, where he has held progressive academic appointments since 2016, advancing from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor in 2021 and full Professor in 2025. He also serves as Adjunct Professor of Physics at Ohio University since 2016 and Director of the Semiconductor Education and Research Program since 2022. Hadizadeh earned his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Tehran in 2008, followed by postdoctoral research fellowships at Sao Paulo State University from 2009 to 2013 and at Ohio University from 2013 to 2015. His career emphasizes mentoring undergraduate STEM students at Central State University, a historically Black college and university, through computational research projects and national internship programs in semiconductors.

Hadizadeh's research centers on theoretical and computational physics, including few-body bound and scattering states, relativistic descriptions of few-body systems, Efimov physics and universalities, three-dimensional similarity renormalization group evolution of many-body interactions, and applications of few-body techniques to quantum systems in two-dimensional semiconductor materials such as trions, biexcitons, and quintons for photodetectors, solar cells, LEDs, quantum emitters, and nonlinear optics. Key publications include "Neon dimers in momentum and configuration spaces" (Scientific Reports, 2025), "Relativistic Faddeev 3D Equations for Three-Body Bound States Without Two-Body t-Matrices" (Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, 2024), "Trion clustering structure and binding energy in 2D semiconductor materials: Faddeev equations approach" (Physical Review B, 2023), "Tunable properties of excitons in double monolayer semiconductor heterostructures" (Physical Review B, 2023), and "Four-body bound states in momentum space: the Yakubovsky approach without two-body matrices" (Frontiers in Physics, 2023). He has secured over $5 million in external funding as lead or sole principal investigator, including NSF grants for Partnership for Advancing Research Capacity in Semiconductors ($1,316,951), Advancing Semiconductor Education ($299,977), Yakubovsky calculations for six-nucleon bound states ($367,591), and Intel Corporation's Semiconductor Education Program ($2,225,700). Awards include the Springer Nature Outstanding Editorial Contribution Award (2025), Central State University President’s Award for securing $1-5 million in grants (2024), CSU President's Award for Faculty Excellence in Research (2023), and Strategic Ohio Council for Higher Education Faculty Excellence Award (2020).
