Biography
Amir performs research on fundamentals of flow and transport in porous media. This includes natural earth materials as well as industrial materials such as filters, fuel cells and catalyst particles. He applies multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approaches to integrated microscopic experimental observations with numerical methods. To simulate a wide range of flow and reactive transport processes, Amir has developed a pore-scale modelling platform, Poreflow, to enable simulating multi-component reactive transport under saturated and multi-phase flow conditions
