Biography

Mehrdad Pasha is a Research Fellow of Chemical Engineering at the University of Leeds. His research focuses primarily on particle characterisation, powder flow, segregation/mixing, and coating, using state of the art experimental techniques and computational approaches (e.g. Discrete Element Method). Mehrdad has won several prizes including: Award of Excellence in Modelling and Simulation at World Congress on Particle Technology, Brian Scarlet Award at Annual Meeting of International Fine Particle Research Institute. His current research focuses on prediction of flow behaviour of formulated product at high strain rate conditions by consideration of single particle properties of individual components.
