Ali Mohraz is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with a joint appointment in Materials Science and Engineering at the Samueli School of Engineering, University of California, Irvine. He also serves as the Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional Studies Student Affairs, demonstrating his leadership role within the engineering school.
Dr. Mohraz received his educational training from:
- B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Azad University (1996)
- M.E. in Chemical Engineering from The City University of New York (1999)
- Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from University of Michigan (2004)
- Post-Doctoral training in Materials Science and Engineering from University of Illinois (2004-2006)
Dr. Mohraz's research focuses on the physics of colloidal dispersions, rheology of soft materials, and self-assembly in multiphase fluids. His work bridges fundamental understanding with practical applications in healthcare, energy, and nanotechnology. He specializes in designing and synthesizing novel microstructured materials and composites through bottom-up approaches. His teaching interests include Transport Phenomena, Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, Colloid and Interface Science, and Computational and Analytical Engineering Mathematics.
Analysis of Dr. Mohraz's recent publications reveals a strong focus on bijels (bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels), porous materials, and their applications in energy storage and biomedical engineering. His research demonstrates a consistent thread connecting fundamental colloidal science with practical engineering applications, particularly in battery technology and drug delivery systems. The interdisciplinary nature of his work is evident in the range of journals where he publishes, spanning chemical engineering, materials science, and biomedical engineering.
Dr. Mohraz leads the Colloid Science Laboratory (Soft Matter Engineering Laboratory) at UC Irvine, where his team investigates the microstructural design of advanced materials. His lab focuses on developing novel fabrication techniques for creating structured materials with applications in energy storage, biomedical devices, and advanced composites.
