He received his B.S. in Physics from Tehran University, Iran and his Ph.D. in Physics from Tufts University. He is a professor of Physics at the University of Maryland and has worked on Opal, CLEO, BaBar and the PDG.

The BaBar Collaboration comprises about 600 physicists from institutions in 10 countries, and his position as its spokesman has made him internationally known. He is also an editor of the Annual Reviews of Nuclear & Particle Science.

During his spokesmanship of the BaBar Collaboration, the accelerator detected and measured the lowest energy state of the bottomonium quark family (ηb).
