Rate My Professor Amir Razmjou

Razmjou's research specializes in metal extraction and resource recovery, direct lithium extraction technologies, ion-selective membranes, material discovery using artificial intelligence and machine learning, sensors, controlled release of ionic drugs, and PFAS removal technologies. He has authored over 210 peer-reviewed articles, achieving an h-index of 56 and more than 12,000 citations according to Google Scholar as of March 2025. Notable publications include 'Liquid membranes for the selective extraction of lithium ions from brine: A review' (Journal of Water Process Engineering, 2026), 'Comprehensive review of lithium extraction processes with economic and environmental analysis' (Separation and Purification Technology, 2026), 'Recent advances in the design principles of lithium selective membranes' (Water Research, 2025), 'Nanochannel Membranes in Direct Lithium Extraction' (Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 2025), and 'Bifunctional Chelating Resin-Modified Polymer Membrane for Sustainable Osmotic Energy Generation' (ACS Applied Polymer Materials, 2025). Razmjou has secured over $15.4 million in research funding, with $7.95 million as lead chief investigator, including a $0.5 million Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia grant for lithium extraction and a $6.4 million CRC-P grant for high purity alumina production using membrane technology. His contributions have earned awards such as the 2025 Water Professional of the Year at the WA Water Awards, 2024 ECU Vice-Chancellor's Staff Excellence Award for Excellence in Research, 2023 WA FHRI Fund Innovation Fellowship, 2023 MSA Industry Innovation Award, and finalist status in the 2014 Australian Museum Eureka Awards for the ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology.
