Dr Amin Taheri MASc, PhD, PGCert, FHEA, AMIChemE

Dr Taheri joined the Faculty of Engineering and Science as a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering in the summer of 2019. He was a Research Associate for two years at the Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC), University of Cambridge. As a member of Nanomaterials and Spectroscopy Group in the Electrical Engineering Division, his work was focused on the solution-processed graphene and related materials and composites. Prior to that, he worked at Ayming Canada as an Associate Consultant for the Scientific Research and Experimental Development program (SR&ED).

Dr Taheri obtained his bachelor's degree from Sharif University of Technology (Iran's top engineering school) as a first-class student and continued his academic endeavours up to the PhD degree. He completed his PhD program at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Chemical and Biological Engineering Department (Fuel Cell & Applied Electrochemistry Lab). His doctoral dissertation was on the high throughput graphene production techniques via electrochemical exfoliation of graphite with related applications in clean electrochemical power sources.

Dr Taheri carries over ten years of work/research experience in various disciplines of chemical/surface science and engineering. With many publications in high impact journals, he has developed a respectable record in nanotechnology and clean energy technologies. In addition to his PhD/Postdoc research, he has several individual contributions on state-of-the-art CO₂ mitigation solutions, which have been highly received and cited. Dr Taheri is currently pursuing his research on the solution processing of advanced nanomaterials for sustainable technologies. This spans from flexible electronics and smart textiles to electrochemical power sources and high-performance composites.
