Personal statement

Emad Chaparian received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada. He then joined FLOW centre, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden as a Postdoctoral Fellow where he worked on multiphase flows in complex fluids. His research was supported by the Swedish Research Council and the European Research Council. After that, he worked two years as a Research & Teaching fellow in the Mathematics Department, again at UBC, before joining University of Strathclyde in 2022. His research focuses on complex fluids & rheology, multiphase flows, and porous media flows. Practically, his research is related to: (i) modelling industrial processes with an interest in controlling greenhouse gas emission, long-term environmental protection and sustainability; (ii) rheology and innovation in measurement techniques/instruments; (iii) developing novel computational methods. He is Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (FIMA). Among other positions he has held, he was Sir Anderson Visiting Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Waterloo, Canada in 2024.
