Dr Hessam Jahangiri PhD, MEng, AMIChemE, MRSC, FHEA
Course Leader / Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering
Summary
I am a Course Leader and Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University. My research focuses on renewable energy and sustainability, with expertise in biomass thermal conversion, carbon capture, catalysis, and process simulation to create low-carbon energy solutions. I am looking forward to welcoming and working with you during your time at the university.
About
I received my PhD in Bioenergy and Catalysis from Cranfield University in collaboration with Aston University and hold an MEng in Chemical Engineering from the University of Birmingham. After completing my PhD, I worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham's School of Chemical Engineering before joining Sheffield Hallam University as a Lecturer.
