Professor Rajarathinam Parthasarathy is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, and Deputy Director of the Centre of Advanced Materials and Industrial Chemistry. He previously served as Deputy Head of Chemical Engineering (2014–2016) and held roles such as Acting Director of the Rheology and Materials Processing Centre. His research focuses on multiphase flow, anaerobic digesters, and sustainable energy systems, combining experimental and numerical methods. He has published over 200 papers, including 110 journal articles, and supervised 41 graduate students. He is a Fellow of the UK Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE).
Education:
- Bachelor’s Degree: University of Madras, India
- MEng: Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru
- PhD: University of Newcastle, Australia (supervised by Graeme Jameson and Nafis Ahmed)
Research Interests: Multiphase hydrodynamics in agitated reactors, laminar slurry transportation, anaerobic digester hydrodynamics, biomass utilization, and hydrogen energy systems. His work emphasizes practical solutions such as scale mitigation in reactors and techno-economic analysis for green hydrogen.
Articles Trends: Recent studies focus on CO₂ capture, biochar-based slurry fuels, and AI-driven process optimization. He frequently explores fluid dynamics in viscoelastic systems and sustainable waste-to-energy solutions.
Awards:
- Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), UK
Advising/Grants: Supervised 41 graduate students (including 35 PhDs) and contributed to projects like techno-economic assessments of hydrogen systems and slurry pipeline design. Collaborations include work with ATC Williams and the water industry.
Labs/Teams: Member of RMIT’s Centre for Advanced Materials and Industrial Chemistry and WETT (Water-Effective Technology and Tools) Research Centre.
