Sakine obtained a bachelor’s degree in Materials Engineering – Ceramics in 2008, followed by a master’s degree in Extractive Metallurgy in the field of Materials Engineering in 2011. She then began her professional career as a university professor for a period of three years. She also assumed the role of Deputy Director in the Materials Engineering Group at the Foulad Institute of Technology in Iran, serving in this position for two years.

In 2018, she successfully completed her PhD in the field of Materials Engineering and Metallurgy, specializing in the field of hydrogen storage in metal hydrides. After her PhD, Sakine began a postdoctoral research position at UQTR, where she continued her research in the field of hydrogen storage in metal hydrides. During this period, she worked under the supervision and advice of her thesis supervisor, Professor Jacques Huot, starting in 2019.

Subsequently, in 2020, she began another postdoctoral research position to study the recycling of lithium-ion batteries at UdeM/CNETE, working under the supervision of Professor Michael Dollé. It was during this phase that she obtained a professional position at the CNETE as a research assistant in electrochemistry.
