Teaching Fellow
Mazaher Molaei Chalchooghi received his BSc and MSc degree in chemical engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 2004 and 2007 respectively. He then studied on modelling and simulation of fluidized bed reactors for CO2 capture from post combustion gases and he achieved his PhD degree from the University of Greenwich (Centre of Numerical Modelling) in London. He then started his first post-doctoral research in 2011 on modelling and CFD simulation of spray jet flame for combustion of ethanol-alcohol in a Multi-Nozzle system of Flame Spray Pyrolysis for Nanoparticle Production, in school of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, Kingston University, UK. He then moved to the Leeds University in 2013 to work as a research associate on Modelling of Spray Drying Towers (A project founded by TSB: to make a step change in spray drying efficiency). Following to this, he joined to UCL in October 2014 as a teaching fellow.
Teaching Interests
He teaches computational tools in chemical engineering including gPROMS,
ChemCAD, GAMS, etc. in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
He also develops and implements new learning materials.
Research Interests
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), process modelling and simulation, particle technology: fluidized bed reactors, spray dryers, flame spray pyrolysis, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Education
BSc and MSc degree in chemical engineering - Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) 2004 and 2007
PhD - University of Greenwich (Centre of Numerical Modelling) in London 2010
