Rosa Z. Baniamerian, Senior Researcher, Department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nottingham
Dr Rosa Zahra Baniamerian is a Senior Researcher at the University of Nottingham, specialising in multiphase flow, thermal systems, energy conversion and low-carbon technologies. Her current research focuses on aqua-ammonia as a practical medium for transporting, storing and utilising renewable energy, with applications in heating, power generation, industrial decarbonisation and sustainable marine fuels.
Her research combines computational modelling, experimental development and techno-economic assessment. She also works closely with academic, industrial and public-sector partners to translate emerging energy concepts into scalable technologies with practical pathways to deployment.
Dr Syed Mashruk, Senior Lecturer in Thermofluids and Combustion Systems, College of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Cardiff University
Dr Syed Mashruk is a Senior Lecturer in Thermofluids and Combustion Sciences at Cardiff University’s School of Engineering, Deputy Director of the Centre of Excellence on Ammonia Technologies (CEAT), and Zero Carbon Fuels Theme Lead within the Net Zero Innovation Institute (NZII). In these roles, he contributes to the development and translation of innovative zero-carbon fuel technologies, with a particular focus on ammonia and hydrogen for power generation, industrial decarbonisation, aviation and transport.
Dr Mashruk is an internationally recognised researcher in alternative fuels and combustion, with extensive contributions to the experimental and numerical characterisation of ammonia, hydrogen and ammonia–hydrogen combustion, including flame stability, reaction chemistry, NOx and N₂O emissions, and advanced optical and laser diagnostics. His research spans fundamental combustion science through to industrial-scale demonstration, including the development and scale-up of novel ammonia combustion technologies.
He has been recognised among the world’s top 2% of highly cited scientists in the Stanford University/Elsevier citation-based rankings, reflecting the international impact of his research. His growing body of highly cited publications and collaborative research is helping advance the scientific understanding and practical deployment of ammonia and hydrogen as viable zero-carbon energy carriers.
