Rate My Professor Amir Razmjou

Razmjou's research focuses on metal extraction and resource recovery, direct lithium extraction technologies, ion-selective membranes, material discovery via artificial intelligence and machine learning, sensors, controlled release of ionic drugs, and PFAS removal. With over 210 peer-reviewed publications, he boasts an h-index of 56 and more than 12,000 citations according to Google Scholar (March 2025). He has attracted over $15.4 million in research funding, including $7.95 million as lead chief investigator, such as a $6.4 million CRC-P grant for high-purity alumina production using membrane technology and a $0.5 million Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia grant resulting in two patent applications. His accolades include the 2025 Water Professional of the Year Award from the WA Water Awards, 2024 ECU Vice-Chancellor's Staff Excellence Award for Excellence in Research, 2023 WA FHRI Fund Innovation Fellowship, 2023 Membrane Society of Australasia Industry Innovation Award, 2021 UTS Chancellor Research Fellowship, and Finalist for the 2014 ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology. Key publications encompass "Design principles of ion selective nanostructured membranes for the extraction of lithium ions" (Nature Communications, 2019), "Liquid membranes for the selective extraction of lithium ions from brine: A review" (Journal of Water Process Engineering, 2026), and "Recent advances in the design principles of lithium selective membranes" (Water Research, 2025).
