Graduate Students In 2021-2024
Homayon Asadzadeh
Ph.D. student at University of Texas
Homayoun Asadzadeh received his master’s degree (2017) in mechanical engineering at Sharif University of Technology. His master’s thesis was about the Numerical simulation of drag reduction in microgrooved substrates using lattice-Boltzmann method. After graduation he continued novel research at this lab as graduate research assistant and his research were about the computational biology and biomolecular dynamics simulation for medicine applications. He then moved to the University of Texas at Arlington, department of biomedical engineering to pursue his Ph.D. Currently, he is working in the group of Prof. Georgios Alexandrakis on designing a novel optical-electrical Nanobiosensor both computationally and experimentally allowing identification of previously unattainable types of biomarkers and improving DNA sequencing and analysis.
Seyed Vahid Rad
Ph.D. student at University of Kansas
Vahid received his bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 2016. Then he moved to Sharif University of Technology and got his master's in Mechanical Engineering in 2019. His thesis was about using superhydrophobic surfaces in order to reduce frictional drag force in internal flows. Now, He is a Ph.D. student at the University of Kansas and focuses on Zwitterionic polymers and Separation phenomena.

Sahand Najafpour
Ph.D. candidate at Simon Fraser University
Sahand Najafpour received his Bachelor’s degree (2015) and Master’s degree (2018) under the supervision of Prof. Mahmoud Saadat Foumani and Prof. Ali Moosavi; respectively, in mechanical engineering at Sharif University of Technology. He then worked in the microfluidic lab with Prof. Ali Moosavi in the Center of Excellence in Energy Conversion at Sharif University of Technology as a senior researcher in the Heat Transfer group (2019). He is currently a Ph.D. student in mechatronic systems engineering at Simon Fraser University. His research interests are mainly on functional hydrophobic/hydrophilic coatings, heat transfer enhancement during phase change and interfacial fluid dynamics.
Mohammad Liravi
Ph.D. candidate at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
Mohammad received his bachelor's degree at Persian Gulf University (2017). Then he started his Master's degree at Sharif University of Technology and joined micro/nanofluidic lab (Sep 2017 - July 2019). His master's thesis was in the field of application of self-cleaning and superhydrophobic surfaces for solar cell cover glass. Now he is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Energy and Process Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. His research focuses on the application of solar-assisted heat pump systems for Nordic climates.
