Biography
Mohammad Reza Rahimpour is a Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. He earned a PhD in chemical engineering at Shiraz University, in collaboration with the University of Sydney, Australia, in 1988. He leads a pioneering research group specializing in fuel processing technology, with a particular focus on the catalytic conversion of both fossil fuels, such as natural gas, and renewable fuels, like bio‑oils derived from lignin, into valuable energy sources. Throughout his academic career, Dr. Rahimpour has specialized in hydrogen production technologies, including steam methane reforming, water electrolysis, photocatalytic hydrogen production, and hydrogen production from both renewable sources and fossil fuels. His extensive expertise and innovative research significantly contribute to advancements in hydrogen production and its practical applications.
Mohammad Amin Makarem earned a PhD in chemical engineering at Shiraz University. His research interests include gas separation and purification, nanofluids, microfluidics, catalyst synthesis, reactor design, and green energy.
Parvin Kiani earned a degree in chemical engineering at Shiraz University. Her research has focused on gas separation, clean energy, and catalyst synthesis.
