Mohammad Reza Rahimpour Editor

Prof. Mohammad Reza Rahimpour is a professor in Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University joint with University of Sydney, Australia 1988. He started his independent career as Assistant Professor in September 1998 at Shiraz University. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour, was a Research Associate at University of California, Davis from 2012 till 2017. During his stay in University of California, he developed different reaction networks and catalytic processes such as thermal and plasma reactors for upgrading of lignin bio-oil to biofuel with collaboration of UCDAVIS. He has been a Chair of Department of Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University from 2005 till 2009 and from 2015 till 2020. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour leads a research group in fuel processing technology focused on the catalytic conversion of fossil fuels such as natural gas, and renewable fuels such as bio-oils derived from lignin to valuable energy sources. He provides young distinguished scholars with perfect educational opportunities in both experimental methods and theoretical tools in developing countries to investigate in-depth research in the various field of chemical engineering including carbon capture, chemical looping, membrane separation, storage and utilization technologies, novel technologies for natural gas conversion and improving the energy efficiency in the production and use of natural gas industries. Dr. Mohammad Farsi is an associate professor in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at Shiraz University from 2012. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2012 from Shiraz University as one of the most prestigious universities in Iran. His theoretical and experimental research interests are process design, CO2 capturing and crude oil desalting areas. In the process design field, he has focused on the modeling, simulation, optimization and control of chemical processes, and modification of conventional process to improve plant efficiency. His main activities in the CO2 capturing field are the development of green processes for CO2 conversion to chemicals, and CO2 capturing by novel solvents and adsorbents. Currently, he has collaborated actively with researchers in several other disciplines of chemical engineering, particularly bio processing. Dr. Mohammad Amin Makarem is a research associate at Shiraz University. He has received his PhD in chemical engineering from Shiraz University.His research interests are gas separation and purification, nanofluids, microfluidics, and green energy. In gas separation, his focus is on experimental and theoretical investigation and optimization of pressure swing adsorption process, and in the gas purification field, he is working on novel technologies such as microchannels.Besides, he has collaborated in writing and editing various book chapters from famous publishers such as Elsevier, Springer and Wiley in differentfields such as bio-energy,carbon capture, membranes, etc. Recently, he has started editing scientific book projects in various subjects of chemical engineering.
