Ali Fathiganjehlou

Ali Fathiganjehlou is a Research Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on multi-scale modeling of multi-phase flows and chemical process intensification, with a strong emphasis on packed bed and trickle bed reactors. He employs advanced techniques such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), pore network modeling, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study flow distribution, hydrodynamics, and reactive transport phenomena in complex systems.

His work integrates experimental and numerical approaches to analyze multiphase flow dynamics in packed beds, particularly involving non-spherical particles and slender geometries. Collaborations at TU/e have led to datasets contributing to reactor design optimization and flow visualization. Key areas of investigation include reactor hydrodynamics, intraparticle transport, and multi-scale modeling for industrial applications.

Ali has contributed to over ten peer-reviewed publications between 2022 and 2025, exploring topics like mechanical solute dispersion, pressure drop analysis, and MRI-based flow characterization. His research bridges fundamental fluid dynamics with practical engineering challenges in chemical reactors.
