Summary
Mr. Amir H. M. Dezashibi Received his chemical engineering MEng degree from the University of Birmingham in "Electrochemical characterization and PEMFC testing carbon-supported platinum nanoparticles with ionic liquids". He joined Imperial College London in 2018 to start his Ph.D. research in ionic liquids. Following his successful preliminary results on the extraction of vanadium from industrial wastes, he signed an agreement with SHELL GLOBAL SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL B.V. as the Industrial CASE Sponsor and the IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE. His research interests involve but are not limited to the study of the transition metals and ionic liquids interactions, economically efficient recovery of ionic liquids. To be specific, his expertise lies in the extraction of vanadium in an ultra-high pure form from refineries waste. This can be utilized in the renewable energy industry such as vanadium redox flow batteries.
