M Babaie

I joint university of Salford as a Lecturer and currently hold this position in School of Science, Engineering and Environment. I completed my PhD in School of Chemistry, Physics and Mechanical Engineering at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia. My PhD research was on emission reduction of diesel engines using a novel technique called non-thermal plasma technology and my BEng and MSc degrees were in mechanical and energy system engineering. I have an extensive teaching experience in higher education as the teaching assistant and lecturer spanning from mechanical and automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, petroleum and gas engineering. I also have related industrial work experience in automotive industry, disposable products manufacturing and cement industry to complement my academic carrier. As a mechanical engineer with the interest on emission and energy analytics, my research focus is on Automotive and Energy domain. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of my research, I also have worked with several universities and industries in other disciplines such as petroleum and gas engineering, aerospace engineering, environmental science, power engineering and data science. My research has led to many publications in different prestigious journal of the field (e.g. Energy Conversion and Management, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Review, Chemical Engineering Journal, Energy, International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, PlOS ONE, IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, etc.) and several conference presentations, industrial reports and invited talks. Since the establishment of Automotive and Autonomous Vehicle Technology (AAVT) laboratory at university of Salford, I was the lead academic developing the collaborative research in Modern Automotive Engineering in different areas for Conventional, EV/Hybrid and Connected and Autonomous vehicles.
