معرفی
Professor Peyman Mostaghimi is a Professor of Minerals and Energy Resources at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney within the Faculty of Engineering, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He joined UNSW in 2014 after completing postdoctoral research at Imperial College London, where he focused on multiphase flow and transport in porous media.
Professor Mostaghimi earned his PhD from Imperial College London and holds an MSc in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Fluid Mechanics along with dual BSc degrees in Mechanical and Chemical (Reservoir) Engineering from Sharif University of Technology. His educational background has provided a strong foundation for his interdisciplinary research at the intersection of engineering, geoscience, and computational methods.
His research spans computational fluid dynamics, natural gas extraction, subsurface reservoir simulation, pore-scale modeling of displacement processes, and flow and transport in porous media with applications to energy extraction, mineral recovery, subsurface hydrology, and environmental studies. Mostaghimi's work integrates advanced computational techniques with experimental validation to address complex challenges in subsurface resource management. He has pioneered approaches combining machine learning with traditional numerical methods to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of digital rock physics simulations.
His recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on multi-scale modeling approaches, bridging pore-scale phenomena to continuum-scale applications. His research group has made significant contributions to understanding multiphase flow in porous media, hydrogen storage, CO2 sequestration, and mineral characterization using cutting-edge imaging and computational techniques. The trend shows increasing integration of machine learning and deep learning techniques with traditional physics-based modeling to solve complex subsurface engineering problems.
Professor Mostaghimi has received international recognition including being ranked among the world's top 2% scientists in Energy by Stanford University (2020). He serves as a Council Member for the International Society for Porous Media and as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering. His professional affiliations include active membership in SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers), InterPore, AGU (American Geophysical Union), and IAMG (International Association for Mathematical Geosciences).
As director of the MUTRIS research group (http://mutris.unsw.edu.au), Professor Mostaghimi leads a team investigating multiphase flow and transport in porous media. His research has significant implications for energy transition technologies including carbon capture and storage, hydrogen storage, and sustainable mineral extraction. The group's work combines experimental techniques like X-ray micro-CT imaging with advanced computational methods to develop predictive models of subsurface processes.
