Rate My Professor Morteza Khaledi

In August 2015, Dr. Khaledi assumed the role of Dean at UTA, where he has spearheaded the development of a comprehensive Strategic Plan for the College of Science. Under his leadership, the college has prioritized the recruitment of exceptional research and teaching faculty across all departments, introduced innovative degree programs including a bachelor's in Data Science and a master's in Learning Analytics, and cultivated an open, collaborative environment that supports faculty, staff, and provides students with ample opportunities for success. Renowned for his expertise in separations science, Dr. Khaledi's research encompasses mechanistic studies and bioanalytical applications of high-performance capillary electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography. His current projects involve novel coacervates for extracting and enriching analytes from biological and environmental samples to facilitate protein characterization in drug discovery, biology, and biomedicine, as well as protein identification, portable biosensing, and electrokinetic chromatography. Supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, he has authored or co-authored over 100 publications in leading scientific journals and mentored 28 Ph.D. students and 9 master's students since 1988.
