Biography

M Reza Kholghy is the director of the Energy and Particle Technology Laboratory and is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University since 2019. He received his Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran (2010) with a focus on jet engine propulsion. He then received his MSc (2012) and PhD (2016) from the University of Toronto, Canada focusing on combustion chemistry and nanoparticle aerosol dynamics. He has taught Fundamentals of Computer Programming and Fundamentals of Combustion. After his PhD, he was a research associate and lecturer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) teaching Mass Transfer and Micro-Nano-Particle Technology. His research interests include novel energy storage technologies using energetic particles and the multi-scale design of nanoparticle synthesis processes in gas phase. His work aims to mitigate emissions of particulate matter from combustion devices and enhance our understanding of critical processes in carbonaceous nanoparticle formation during combustion. He has proposed innovative models for soot nanoparticle behavior and contributed significantly to cleaner fuel technologies. He is a member of the Combustion Institute and has received the Vanier Canada PhD Graduate Scholarship and the NSERC postdoctoral fellowship.
