Cyrus Riahi Nezhad

Cyrus Riahi Nezhad serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing, University of South Carolina, where his work bridges theoretical fluid dynamics with practical environmental and energy applications through innovative catalytic and separation technologies.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of South Carolina (2013)
• M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville (2004)
• M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville (2002)
• B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Tennessee Technological University (1990)

Dr. Riahi-Nezhad's research integrates fluid mechanics, separation science, and catalysis to address critical engineering challenges. Key focus areas include electro-mixing for radioactive and tannery waste treatment, mesoporous catalysts for automotive emission control, nano-catalysts in hydrogen production via water-gas shift reactions, and hydraulic analyses for levee systems. His work emphasizes scalable solutions for biofuel production, air conditioning systems, and environmental remediation, demonstrating strong interdisciplinary connections between mechanical engineering and sustainability.
