Project: Pyrolysis and Sustainable Energy

Mohammadali earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in biosystems and renewable energies from the University of Tehran, Iran, in 2021. His academic journey has been defined by a strong commitment to sustainable energy solutions. From 2019 to 2021, he expanded his research expertise as a graduate researcher in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada, where he gained valuable insights into advanced energy technologies. Also, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Division of Engineering at Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Canada, where he continues to develop innovative solutions in renewable energy. Mohammadali has published numerous papers in high-impact Q1 journals and contributed to several book chapters on renewable energy. His innovative contributions to the field are further reflected in patents related to sustainable energy systems. His research focuses on modeling and optimizing hybrid renewable energy systems and environmental sustainability, incorporating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Assessment to evaluate the long-term viability and impact of energy systems. Beyond research, Mohammadali actively contributes to the academic community as a member of the editorial board for Energy Storage and Saving (ESS) and an Editor for Frontiers in Energy Research. He also serves as an Associate Editor for e-Prime and has taken on the role of guest editor for special issues.

Project: Investigating the application of drinking water treatment residuals for the removal of PFAS from water

I am a graduate student in chemical engineering, holding a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering from Dalhousie University. My academic and research interests focus on separation processes, colloids, waste valorization, adsorption, energy optimization, and material synthesis. My recent research studies focus on creating effective adsorbents from drinking water treatment residuals and testing their efficiency and effectiveness in capturing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). I am passionate about developing innovative solutions to improve sustainability and efficiency in the field of chemical engineering.

Project: Investigating the Pyrolysis of Brewers' Spent Grain to Enhance Crystal Violet Adsorption Capacity

I am a graduate student in Chemical Engineering at Dalhousie University, specializing in wastewater treatment, waste and biomass valorization, green engineering, and biochar development through adsorption and pyrolysis. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from Marwadi University in 2021, where I received the Gold Medal for outstanding academic performance. I gained practical experience during my undergraduate studies and have 2.5 years of professional experience in the chemical industry. My research focuses on innovative solutions for waste management and sustainable engineering practices.
