Dr. Mohammad Mohaghar

Biography

Mohammad Mohaghar is a Research Engineer II at the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tehran in 2008. Following this, he completed an M.Sc. in Automotive Engineering at the Iran University of Science and Technology in 2010, gaining valuable industry experience. His academic journey continued as he earned another M.Sc. in Energy Sustainability from the University of Coimbra in Portugal in 2012, an exceptional joint program with MIT. In 2014, he began his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, under the guidance of Professor Devesh Ranjan. His research focused on fluid mechanics, particularly the effects of initial conditions, Mach number, and Atwood number on turbulent mixing and shock-driven variable-density flows. After successfully defending his Ph.D. in 2019, he embraced a postdoctoral position at Georgia Tech, working with Professor Donald Webster on projects in biological fluid dynamics and turbulence in environmental fluid mechanics.
