Iman received both his B.SC. and M.Sc. in chemical engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2005 and 2008, respectively. He acquired a general knowledge on hydrotreating of petroleum components in B.Sc. and continued his research in M.SC. by working on hydrodesulfurization of gasoil in trickle bed reactors. After graduation, he had the opportunity to gain a helpful work experience in one of the biggest natural gas refinery complexes in the world: South Pars Gas Complex. In SPGC he was working as a process engineer in different process units including NGL fractionation unit, ethane decarbonation and drying unit, propane and butane treatment and caustic regeneration units and sulfur recovery and granulation units. Also, he was involved in several projects in wastewater treatment units. He has joined PEARL since September 2017, and is working on local hydrodynamics of gas-solid fluidized bed reactors at high pressure and high temperature.

He started his study in Chemical Engineering in 2004 and received his B.Sc. in 2008. He was first rank among all Chemical engineering bachelor students of that year. After that, he entered to Master Program in chemical engineering Department of Sharif University of Technology in 2008 as 5th rank among all chemical engineering students countrywide. He defended his M.Sc. dissertation on the title of “Simulation of atmospheric ammonia dispersion Using CFD” in 2010. He worked in Arya Science-Based Corporation as a Research Engineer for 6 years. During these years, he worked on various scientific topics such as multiphase flow characteristic, nanofluid flow, computational fluids dynamics. Consequently, multiple articles in scientific Journals were published by him. He started his PhD under supervision of Prof. Chaouki in 2017.
