Peyman Babakhani

Peyman Babakhani is Lecturer in Ground Engineering at the University of Manchester's Department of Civil Engineering, researching nanotechnology applications for environmental challenges.

Research pillars include:

• Nanoparticle-enabled carbon dioxide removal strategies
• Organic carbon preservation mechanisms in marine systems
• Contaminant transport modeling in porous media
• Climate change mitigation technologies

His Nature publication on iron-manganese mediated carbon preservation revealed new mechanisms for long-term carbon storage. Current work explores engineered nanoparticles for ocean-based CO2 removal, developing modeling frameworks to assess environmental impacts.

He contributes to editorial boards of Environmental Science and Ecotechnology and collaborates with the Exploring Ocean Iron Solutions initiative on geoengineering solutions.
