About Me

Expertise and interest

  • Process modeling and simulation
  • Optimization
  • Computational fluid dynamics
  • CO2 absorption and reuse

At the moment, I'm working at Ferdowsi University as an assistant professor of chemical engineering department. In addition to teaching courses and guiding student project, I’m taking part in different research and industrial projects. In these projects I can use my experience to do a valuable job for the industry as well as obtaining new experiment when I face to new challenges.

Before that, I was working as a Senior Process Engineer at Aible As, Oslo, Norway. I’ve participated in different offshore concept, FEED and detail design for the new platforms as well as modification projects in Aibel Company.

My PhD studies was finished at December, 2011 at NTNU (Chemical Engineering department), Norway. My PhD project was in the field of CO2 capture and the title is “CO2 Capture and Power Production Integration; Optimization and Conceptual Design Studies” under supervision of Professor Magne Hillestad and Professor Hallvard F. Svendsen. During my PhD I was working with CO2 capture and focus on energy consumption of the capture plant. I investigated different process in both steady state and dynamic. During my PhD, 6 papers in different international journal were published and I participated in several international conference and scientific seminars.

Now adays, I have more than 18 years industrial experience in both Iranian and international engineering companies and research institutions.

During these years, I have touched different aspects of the job in both research and industry field from research and scientific discussion as well as different engineering works, economical calculation of commercial plants and negotiation with different international supplier for technology and equipment and managing a project.
