Samaneh Ghaedi

Samaneh Ghaedi is an Innovative Environmental Engineer holding a Doctor of Philosophy degree and affiliated with the Department of Civil Engineering and Management. Her research focuses on advanced nanomaterials for environmental applications, particularly in water treatment and pollution control, with significant contributions to UN Sustainable Development Goals for clean water and sustainable cities.

Her core expertise spans adsorption, separation, membrane technologies, and photocatalysis, specializing in the design, synthesis, and characterization of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), MXene-based composites, and MOF-biochar hybrids. These engineered materials enable targeted removal of contaminants like heavy metals, boron, and pharmaceuticals through tunable surface functionality and sustainable material architectures.

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals a dominant trend in developing reusable MOF-biochar composites for multi-ionic heavy metal systems and photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics. Her work consistently emphasizes material reusability, waste-to-resource conversion, and sustainable contaminant management, demonstrating strong alignment with circular economy principles in environmental engineering.

Dr. Ghaedi has led scientific workshops for academic outreach, showcasing active knowledge dissemination. While specific grant details and student advising records aren't documented, her leadership in workshops and high-impact publications (10+ peer-reviewed articles) indicates substantial research impact and community engagement in environmental remediation.
