Detailed information
Mostafa completed his BSc in Chemical Engineering at Isfahan University of Technology, Iran. Subsequently, he pursued his MSc at Sharif University of Technology, focusing on Catalysis. His master’s thesis investigated the efficacy of a catalyst for wastewater treatment applications.
During his MSc, Mostafa expanded his expertise in catalysis through molecular modeling techniques such as Density Functional Theory (DFT), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC). He authored a publication exploring the impact of molecular structure on CO₂ capture.
Post-graduation, Mostafa gained practical experience as an R&D expert at a catalyst manufacturing company in Tehran. In this role, he optimized processes and catalysts for various chemical reactions.
Mostafa commenced his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Calgary in September 2022. His current research focuses on the synthesis of dual-functional materials for Integrated CO₂ Capture and Conversion (ICCC), along with process design.
Outside academia and research, Mostafa enjoys playing the piano and immersing himself in outdoor activities such as hiking, embracing the natural beauty of Calgary.
