Assistant Research Professor; Senior Research Investigator, CREE
Dr. Ali A. Rownaghi is an Assistant Research Professor in the department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Missouri S&T. He received his B.S. degree in Chemistry, M.S. in Catalysis from the University of Tehran and Ph.D. in Catalysis from the University Putra.
Dr. Rownaghi's Research Statement: Our primary focus is on creating, understanding, and rationally engineering advanced materials for catalysis, membrane and adsorption applications through innovative and scalable processing strategies. In particular, our research activities include: (1) Sustainable Energy (Upgrading of biomass and natural gas; Biofuels; CO2 capture and utilization; Waste-plastics recycling), (2) Catalysis (Heterogeneous catalysts such as zeolites, supported metals, noble metals and mixed metal oxides; Selective oxidation, hydrogenation, and dehydration; High temperature-high pressure reactions; membrane reactors), (3) Separations (Metal organic framework mixed matrix membranes and adsorbents; Composite hollow fiber membranes for in-situ reaction and separation).
