Biography

Dr Peyman Babakhani is a Lecturer in Ground and Geoenvironmental Engineering at the University of Manchester. Prior to this, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds and obtained a dual-degree PhD from the School of Engineering at the University of Liverpool and the College of Nuclear Science at National Tsing Hua University. His research crosses the areas of nanotechnology applications in civil and environmental engineering, sustainability, and global biogeochemical modelling. Dr Babakhani uses a number of modelling approaches, including artificial intelligence, mechanistic mass- and population-balance models, stochastic models, and life cycle assessment techniques. He also develops and uses several experimental methods to represent natural aquatic and porous-media environments at a laboratory scale. Dr Babakhani continues working on addressing today’s sustainable development needs including climate change mitigation and water pollutant management. He is excited about developing new collaborations, supervising/examining PhD research and acting as an editorial board member of peer-reviewed journals. Please do not hesitate to contact him if you would like to discuss any of these topics.
