Fahid Amin

Dr. Fahid Amin is a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Teesside University, affiliated with the SCEDT Engineering Centre for Sustainable Engineering. He joined the university in November 2020 after serving as a postdoctoral research associate at Imperial College London (2018–2020) and completing his PhD at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (2011–2018). His academic journey also includes an MSc from Politecnico di Milano (2008–2010) and a BSc from the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore (2003–2007).

His research focuses on reducing global pollutant emissions, with expertise in combustion dynamics, smouldering combustion, and optical diagnostics. Key research themes include hydrogen/ammonia biofuel combustion, emission measurement techniques, flame-synthesised nanoparticles, and air quality monitoring. He has conducted extensive experiments on smouldering combustion in peatlands and high-pressure soot morphology studies using advanced diagnostics like multi-angle light scattering and laser-induced incandescence.

Dr. Amin’s articles (e.g., studies on peatland wildfires, soot parameters in counterflow flames, and suppression strategies) reflect his dedication to environmental and combustion science. His work has been published in top journals such as Combustion and Flame and International Journal of Wildland Fire. While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his contributions to sustainable engineering and wildfire mitigation are notable. He is available to supervise PhD students and has experience in lab-scale and field experiments. His work aligns with interdisciplinary efforts to address environmental challenges through combustion science and engineering solutions.
