Homogeneous Oxidation Reactions

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 Amin Makarem is an Adjunct Lecturer at the School of Engineering, Taylor’s University, Malaysia. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran. His research covers gas separation and purification, green energy, nanofluids, microfluidics, and catalyst synthesis. Beyond research, he has extensive experience as an editor and contributor to academic publishing, serving as Editor or Co-editor for many books, book series, and major reference works from leading academic publishers. His editorial work spans topics such as carbon capture and storage, bioenergy, greenhouse gases, hydrotreating, oily wastewater, chemical industry crises, hydrogen and methanol energy production, homogeneous catalysis, synthesis gas, natural gas, and renewable energy systems. He recently served as series editor for Advances in Biotechnology: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies and has reviewed manuscripts for prominent international journals, helping guide researchers and industry through high-impact resources.Tayebeh Roostaie is a research associate at Shiraz University. Her research has focused on catalyst, clean energy, biofuel, demulsification and membrane. In the clean energy field, she has worked on hydrogen production. She has also synthesized novel catalysts for this process which are tested in a laboratory reactor. Recently, she has written various book chapters for famous publishers such as Elsevier. Maryam Meshksar is a research associate at Shiraz University. Her research has focused on gas separation, clean energy, and catalyst synthesis. In gas separation, she is working on membrane separation process, and in the clean energy field, she has worked on reforming-based processes for hydrogen production from methane experimentally. She has also synthesized novel catalysts for this process which are tested in for the first time. Recently, she has written various book chapters for famous publishers such as Elsevier, Springer and Wiley
