Fariborz Shaahmadi

Fariborz Shaahmadi is a Researcher at Heriot-Watt University's Institute of Mechanical, Process & Energy Engineering within the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Iran's Petroleum University of Technology and has over a decade of experience in CO₂ capture and thermodynamics. His postdoctoral work focused on advancing Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (SAFT) models for carbon capture applications.

His research interests span thermodynamic modeling (particularly SAFT frameworks), electrochemical CO₂ capture, novel solvents for absorption processes, and industrial applications in oil/gas sectors. He bridges academic research with practical implementations to enhance process efficiency and reduce emissions.

Recent work emphasizes electrochemical regeneration of CO₂ capture solvents, ionic liquids for hydrocarbon separation, and intelligent modeling of phase equilibria. His publications reflect a strong focus on CO₂ capture technologies, solubility measurements, and thermodynamic theory.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but his contributions align with UN SDG 13 (Climate Action) through carbon capture innovations. He collaborates internationally and has 28 peer-reviewed publications since 2016, with a recent emphasis on integrating electrochemical systems and advanced modeling techniques.
