Nader Mahinpey
Associate Professor
My research activities focus on promoting research programs in the areas of clean energy and green engineering. An understanding of global energy usage patterns, energy conservation, and the environmental impacts associated with the production and use of energy are very important in order to achieve sustainable development. Energy and environment have become the two paramount themes in my research group. My current research interests and my expertise originate from the application of chemical engineering in energy and environment, including areas such as renewable energy, biofuel and bioenergy, gasification, pyrolysis, biochemical conversion, and reaction engineering. My current research activities are:
- Greenhouse Gas Control Technology
- Thermochemical Conversion
- Biofuel Production and Processes
- Biomass/ Waste Gasification
- Co-gasification (Biomass, Coal, and Pet-coke)
- Pyrolysis
- Solid Waste Management
- Biochemical Conversion
- Renewable Energy
- Reaction Kinetics Modeling
- Mass transfer with Chemical Reaction
- Fundamental Mass Transfer Studies
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
