Saba Saifoori

Biography

Saba graduated from University of Tehran, Iran with a BSc degree in Chemical Engineering. She then proceeded to further her studies in Chemical and Process Engineering at University of Leeds, where she obtained her MSc degree with Distinction. Her MSc research programme addressed the impact breakage of acicular crystals due to aerodynamic dispersion. She is currently pursuing her PhD studies on a project entitled: “Impact deposition of particles for the manufacture of next generation electroceramics”, funded by the EPSRC.
