Halima Hadžiahmetović is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sarajevo, where she has served since 2020. Her academic career progressed from Senior Assistant (2010-2016) to Assistant Professor (2016-2020) and then to Associate Professor (2020-present). She simultaneously holds an Associate Professor position at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Zenica since 2020. Her primary academic affiliation is with the Department of Process Engineering and Environmental Engineering at the University of Sarajevo.
Her educational background includes:
- 2015: Doctor of Technical Sciences, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sarajevo (Dissertation: "Numerical modeling of erosion in elbows during pneumatic transport")
- 2008: Master of Technical Sciences, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sarajevo (Thesis: "Optimization of hydraulic transport of ash and slag in dense hydro-mixture form")
- 2004: Graduate Engineer of Metallic Materials, Faculty of Metallurgy and Materials, University of Zenica (Diploma: "Assessment of exhaustion of materials of highly loaded components of boiler equipment")
Dr. Hadžiahmetović's research spans renewable energy systems, fluid mechanics, and environmental engineering. She has conducted extensive research on wind resource assessment across Bosnia and Herzegovina, including Sarajevo, Bjelašnica, and Ivan Sedlo. Her work in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applies to pneumatic and hydraulic transport systems, erosion modeling, and valve design. She has made significant contributions to indoor air quality research and environmental monitoring, with publications in Sustainability, Tehnički vjesnik, and TEM Journal.
Her recent publications (2021-2025) demonstrate a clear progression toward integrated renewable energy solutions and environmental sustainability. She has expanded from foundational work on wind energy assessment to comprehensive studies of hybrid energy systems, photovoltaic optimization, and sustainability assessments of small hydropower plants. Her research increasingly incorporates advanced data analysis techniques for air pollution studies and has broadened into noise pollution assessment in urban environments.
Dr. Hadžiahmetović has secured multiple research grants as principal investigator, including projects analyzing wind data across Bosnia and Herzegovina, laboratory equipment procurement for renewable energy research, and educational enhancement initiatives. She has participated in international collaborations such as the AMOCEAB project funded by the European INTERREG ADRION program and the Quality Improvement of Master programs in Sustainable Energy and Environment project funded by the Norwegian government.
She has played a key role in developing research infrastructure at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, particularly the Laboratory for Industrial Dust Removal and the Laboratory for Pumps, Compressors, and Ventilators. Her five co-authored books, including "Wind Energy and Wind Power Plants" (2020) and "Transport of Solid Particles by Fluid in Curved Flows" (2022), have established her as a leading authority in her field within Bosnia and Herzegovina.
