He then joined the University of Vienna in Austria, where he became a group leader at the Research Institute for Molecular Pathology and associate professor and director of the inter-departmental research platform for Quantum Phenomena and Nanoscale Biological Systems. He joined the faculty of The Rockefeller University in 2015 as an associate professor and was named professor in 2020. In 2016 he became associate director of Rockefeller’s Kavli Neural Systems Institute. Vaziri has received the Prize of the City of Vienna and was named a Fellow Member of Optica, among other honors.
