معرفی
Dr. Amr Omar is a researcher at the University of New South Wales, affiliated with the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering and Department of Chemical Engineering. His work focuses on integrating renewable energy systems—particularly solar thermal technology—with advanced water treatment processes to address global sustainability challenges.
- PhD in Solar Thermal Systems & Desalination (UNSW, 2017-2020)
- Postdoctoral Researcher (UNSW Chemical Engineering, 2020-2023)
Omar specializes in decarbonizing water processes through solar-driven membrane distillation, multi-effect distillation, and hydrogen production cooling systems. His research bridges laboratory innovation with real-world applications, targeting United Nations' SDG6 (Clean Water) and SDG7 (Affordable Clean Energy).
Recent publications emphasize techno-economic modeling of hybrid solar-desalination systems, machine learning applications for water filtration optimization, and geospatial analyses of global desalination site feasibility. Key projects include developing hollow fiber vacuum membrane distillation modules and improving flocculant strength assessment for water catchment monitoring.
