Overview
Background
Dr Mahshid Firouzi is an Honorary Associate Professor at UQ Gas & Energy Transition Research Centreand an Associate Professor at the College of Engineering, Science and Environment at the University of Newcastle (Australia).
Dr Firouzi has a strong interest in both fundamental and practical research, collaborating with industry and various disciplines across a broad range of areas with a focus on Energy and Resources. Her research projects are centered on the experimental investigation and mathematical modeling of interfacial interactions in multiphase flows (foams/emulsions, bubble coalescence, thin liquid films) and process optimisation of engineering processes. She particularly focuses on the application of bio-inspired reagents in eco-efficient beneficiation of minerals and clean energy production as well recycling vaulable minerals from EoL PVs.
Her research achievements have been recognised through multiple awards including the 2018 UQ Engineering Faculty Early Career Researcher Award and being one of two Australian female scientists profiled by the Association of Academies and Societies of Sciences in Asia.
