Biography
Dr Salehi’s expertise lies in the areas of developing physical models for laminar and turbulent flows in different engineering applications. The primary goal of her research is to develop efficient, predictive computational models to understand multi-scale and multi-physics flows, providing new knowledge to advance cost-effective, sustainable technologies. She has made significant contributions to enabling clean, safe energy technologies and has provided new insights into the fundamental science of reacting flows and multi-phase flows. She also works on developing data-driven models and optimisation techniques to enhance the efficiency and reliability of engineering systems.
She currently serves as the Associate Dean, Engagement and Sustainability in the Faculty of Science and Engineering; Chair of the United Nations Academic Impact SDG 15 Hub; Treasurer of the Combustion Institute; member of Standards Australia ME-093; and Scientific Advisory Board member of the Blue Economy CRC.
