معرفی
Amin Paykani is a Lecturer in Sustainable Propulsion Systems at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), affiliated with the School of Engineering and Materials Science (SEMS). He leads research in the Centre for Intelligent Transport and Centre for Sustainable Engineering. Prior to QMUL, he held academic positions at the University of Hertfordshire and ETH Zurich.
His research focuses on low/zero-carbon energy vectors for transport decarbonization, particularly combustion engineering, machine learning-driven surrogate modeling, and thermal management of electric propulsion systems. He has secured grants from the Royal Society and EPSRC, including a £171k project on ammonia spray characteristics and a £58k study on electric motor cooling.
- Education: PhD (university not specified)
- Affiliations: Fellow of HEA, Chartered Engineer (CEng), EPSRC Peer Review College Member
Key research areas include ammonia combustion, hydrogen integration, and reduced-order modeling. He supervises two PhD students: Waruna Maddumage (oil cooling in electric motors) and Cihat Emre Ustun (machine learning for combustion chemistry).
Teaching includes the module 'Aircraft Propulsion Systems' (EMS614U). He actively seeks PhD applicants in plasma-assisted ammonia combustion and sustainable propulsion systems.
