Dr. Mohammad Mahdi Salehi
Mohammad Mahdi Salehi is a senior CFD researcher at Ekona Power. He utilizes CFD modelling to optimize natural gas pyrolysis reactors to decarbonize natural gas and generate hydrogen. Before joining Ekona Power, he was an assistant professor in the Aerospace Engineering Department at Sharif University of Technology (SUT). His primary research interest is turbulent combustion modelling. He developed OpenFOAM solvers for turbulent reacting flow simulation. He taught thermodynamics, combustion, numerical methods, aerospace and the environment courses at the undergraduate level, and computational fluid dynamics, combustion and advanced viscous flow at the graduate level. Before joining SUT, he was a Post-Doctoral fellow at the Center for Interactive Research on Sustainability at the University of British Columbia (UBC). He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from UBC and his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from SUT.
