Dr. Ebrahim Rezaei P.Eng.

I have obtained my BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in chemical engineering. My BSc was majored in petrochemical engineering and my MSc was in process design and optimization. I worked in a consulting company as a process engineer involved in detail process design and procurement of two offshore natural gas production platforms.

My MSc thesis was on solving mixed-integer non-linear programming problems to retrofit heat exchanger networks. The focus of my PhD at the University of Saskatchewan was on synthesizing heterogeneous catalysts for low temperature oxidation of organic indoor air pollutants using ozone.

After completing my PhD, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Ottawa, developing materials for odour removal by adsorption processes and conversion of greenhouse gases to value added products. My current research at Lakehead University includes CO₂ free hydrogen production by CH₄ decomposition in liquid metal bubble reactors, reformation of CO₂ to intermediate and final products, and catalytic ozonation of water and wastewater pollutants.
