Rate My Professor Arash Arami Niya

Dr. Arash Arami-Niya is a Senior Lecturer in the Western Australian School of Mines: Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering at Curtin University. He completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Queensland in 2017, with research focused on adsorptive natural gas purification. Previously, he held the position of Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, where his work emphasized sorption-based gas separation processes, including carbon capture, natural gas purification, helium recovery, and thermophysical property measurements. Since March 2020, he has been a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at Curtin University. His expertise lies in chemical engineering, particularly in the development and characterization of novel nanomaterials and porous materials.

Arash Arami-Niya's research interests include adsorption of gases such as methane, hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen; gas separation and storage from mixtures like methane-nitrogen; nanomaterials and porous materials for adsorption and photocatalysis; techno-economic assessment of green hydrogen production using supercritical geothermal energy and solid oxide electrolysis; photocatalytic degradation of high-concentration pharmaceutical pollutants and dyes; refrigerant mixtures and phase equilibria; and activated carbon production and modification for gas adsorption. He has produced 68 publications, garnering over 3,600 citations. Key publications encompass 'Techno-Economic Assessment of Green Hydrogen Production Using Supercritical Geothermal Energy and Solid Oxide Electrolysis' (2026), 'Helium separation from gas mixtures using a temperature-regulated trapdoor zeolite' (2025), 'Adsorption of Methane–Nitrogen mixtures with flexible Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-7 (ZIF-7)' (2024), 'Collaborative adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of high concentration pharmaceutical pollutants in water using a novel dendritic fibrous nano-silica modified with chitosan and UiO-66' (2024), 'Improving separation of CH4 and N2 by adsorption on zeolite Y Ion-Exchanged with ammonium Cations' (2024), 'Temperature dependence of adsorption hysteresis in flexible metal-organic frameworks' (2020), and 'Observations and Correlation of ZIF-7 Stepped Sorption Isotherms' (2020). His contributions advance technologies for energy carrier gas purification, storage, and sustainable energy solutions.
