Mohammad Mohaghar

Mohammad Mohaghar is a Research Engineer II in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Mohaghar received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tehran in 2008. Building upon this strong foundation, he earned an M.Sc. in Automotive Engineering from the Iran University of Science and Technology in 2010, concurrently gaining valuable industry experience. Fueled by his unwavering passion for academic pursuits, he earned an M.Sc. in Energy for Sustainability at the University of Coimbra in Portugal—an exceptional joint program with MIT—in 2012. In the fall of 2014, he started a Ph.D. journey at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. Under the expert guidance of Professor Devesh Ranjan, he immersed himself in the captivating realm of Fluid Mechanics. His research delved deep into understanding the effects of initial conditions, Mach number, and Atwood number on the turbulent mixing transition of shock-driven variable-density flow. He contributed significantly to the field through a powerful blend of experimental measurements and computational modeling. With the successful defense of his Ph.D. in 2019 and In the following three years, he eagerly embraced a postdoctoral position at the Georgia Institute of Technology, working with Professor Donald Webster. He is actively involved in various captivating projects exploring the fascinating domains of biological fluid dynamics, turbulence, and environmental fluid mechanics. By combining rigorous practical experimentation, cutting-edge theoretical insights, and advanced computational analysis, He is trying to consistently expand his knowledge and push the boundaries of the field of fluid mechanics.
