Mohsen Ghavami is a Lecturer in Engineering at City St George's, University of London, with a focus on thermodynamic power cycles and energy storage technologies. He obtained his PhD in 2017 from City, University of London, specializing in thermo-economic optimization of solar-powered micro gas turbines as part of the European Commission-funded OMSoP project. His post-doctoral work (2017–2024) included experimental research on thermodynamic cycles in projects like SolGATS, NextORC, and SCOtWoHR.
- PhD, Mechanical Engineering, City, University of London (2017)
- MSc, Mechanical Engineering (Energy Conversion), University of Tabriz (1997)
- BSc, Mechanical Engineering, University of Tehran (1993)
His research interests center on thermodynamic power generation cycles (open/closed Brayton, supercritical CO2, Organic Rankine) and energy storage systems for renewable/waste heat applications. He investigates control strategies for optimizing system operation and design, particularly in compact thermal storage units using phase change materials (PCMs) to reduce system size and cost.
Recent publications highlight his work on PCM-integrated heat exchangers, solar dish-engine optimization, and transient flow analysis in turbomachinery. His 2024 Energy paper demonstrated a 438% increase in discharge time via PCM compartments, while ASME Turbo Expo papers (2024, 2019) explore micro gas turbine control and machine learning applications.
He has earned a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and contributes to editorial work as a session organizer at the ASME Turbo Expo. His teaching spans Mechanical Engineering fundamentals, mechatronics, and power propulsion systems at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
