Biography (About):
I am an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Shahrood University of Technology, one of the most reputable technical universities in Iran. Since 2015, I have been actively engaged in educational and research activities. My research primarily focuses on nanofluids (a new generation of heat transfer fluid) and energy systems. I explore the application of material and energy principles to enhance the performance of energy systems, including heat exchangers, PhotoVoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) solar collectors, and desalination units based on clean methods. The objective is to generate power, heat, and fresh water while minimizing environmental impact. I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Middle East Technical University (METU) in Turkey, which ranks among the top three universities in the country. I spent my sabbatical at RMIT University in Melbourne in 2013 for a period of 6 months. I am manager of heat transfer laboratory in our university,
