Biography
Dr Fatemeh Salehi completed her PhD in renewable energy engineering at the University of New South Wales. She then worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney before joining Macquarie University. She is currently a Chief Investigator at Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre, Chief Investigator at SmartCrete Cooperative Research Centre, and the Deputy Director of Macquarie Sustainable Energy Research Centre.
Dr Salehi’s expertise is in the development of physical models for computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations of turbulent flows to advance new energy technologies for clean renewable fuels such as hydrogen and biomass. Her research also involves accurate modelling of multi-phase flows (particles/sprays/aerosols) which are common in a wide range of engineering applications from drug inhalers to fuel injectors in internal combustion engines.
