Pezhman Ahmadi

Pezhman Ahmadi is a Research Fellow at the University of Heriot-Watt's School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society within the Institute for GeoEnergy Engineering. His work focuses on thermophysical properties of CO₂-rich systems, phase behavior modeling, and carbon capture and storage (CCUS) technologies. He contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) and climate action (SDG 13).

Research interests include impurity effects on CO₂ systems, high-pressure fluid properties, and experimental validations of thermodynamic models. Recent projects involve bubble point analysis in CO₂-H₂ mixtures, viscosity measurements of hydrogen-methane blends, and vapor-liquid equilibrium studies in hydrocarbon systems. His work integrates both experimental data collection and computational modeling to advance CCUS applications.

Awarded the Adrian Todd Golden Key Student Fund in 2016, Ahmadi collaborates on industry projects such as phase behavior of CO₂-volatile organic compounds and hydrogen production via waste heat valorization. He actively contributes to joint industry projects (JIPs) addressing challenges in CO₂ gas hydrate prediction, methane blends, and subsea fluid systems.
