معرفی
Dr. Amin Sharifi is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen. He holds a PhD and MEng in Engineering from the University of Calgary and focuses on experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics in porous media and narrow channels, with applications in energy recovery, hydrogen storage, and mineral extraction.
- Education: PhD, Engineering, University of Calgary (2017); MEng, Engineering, University of Calgary (2013)
Research Interests: His group investigates fluid flow in complex channels, non-Newtonian fluids (colloidal suspensions, foams, polymer solutions, nanofluids), and chemistry of ionic transport for energy transition. Key projects include FUSim (Fracture Upscaling Simulator), foam/emulsion dynamics in energy systems, and nanofluid applications for multiphase transport.
Publications: His recent work spans lithium extraction from brines, CO2 absorption using nanofluids, foam stability in reservoir conditions, and hybrid thermal/chemical fluid flow in porous media. Articles reflect interdisciplinary collaboration with European/Indonesian/US institutions and industry.
Awards & Grants: Recipient of the 2017 College of Physical Sciences Teaching Award. Secured over £500k in grants from EPSRC, CONACyT, Royal Society, British Council, and industry partnerships for projects on hydrogen transport, geothermal mineral extraction, methane containment, and foam dynamics.
Leadership & Teaching: Deputy Examinations Officer (2023-present), Programme Leader for MSc Subsurface Energy Engineering (2024-present). Teaches Enhanced Oil Recovery, Drilling, and Production Engineering at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
