معرفی
Mehdi Nemati is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Engineering. His work focuses on environmental bioengineering solutions for challenges in petroleum, mining, and agricultural sectors. He is a registered Professional Engineer (APEGS) with expertise in microbial fuel cells, bioremediation, and bioreactor technologies.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, University of Manchester (UMIST), 1997
- M.Sc. (Eng.) in Chemical Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, 1987
- B.Sc. (Eng.) in Chemical Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, 1984
Research Interests: Development of biotechnologies for treating pollutants like naphthenic acids, PAHs, and sulfur/nitrogen compounds. Specializes in microbial fuel cell bioreactors, biofilm-based systems, and integrated chemical-biological remediation strategies for complex contaminants.
Current Projects:
- Treatment of organic wastewaters via microbial fuel cell bioreactors
- Bioremediation of naphthenic acids using circulating packed bed bioreactors
- Denitrification and biodesulphurization using sulfur/H2S systems
- Nitrification in conventional and microbial fuel cell bioreactors
Labs/Teams: Leads research on advanced bioreactor systems including bead mill and circulating packed-bed configurations. Collaborates on integrated chemical-biological approaches for environmental remediation.
