Dr. Hamid Kazemi Hakki research focuses on advancing photocatalysis, surface engineering, and material design through the development of highly efficient TiO₂- and ZnO-based thin films, nanocomposites, and hybrid photocatalysts. Significant work has explored sol–gel dip-coated TiO₂–ZnO films, where investigations into surface properties, crystal structure, and film adherence have provided key insights into optimizing photocatalytic performance for pollutant degradation. Additional contributions examine the influence of thermal annealing on TiO₂ film morphology and crystallinity, demonstrating how controlled heat treatments enhance adhesion, surface uniformity, and photocatalytic activity. A major research direction includes the synthesis of Fe-ZnO photocatalysts supported on hydrophobic silica aerogels, enabling floating systems capable of highly efficient photodecomposition of BTX compounds in wastewater. These studies integrate sol–gel chemistry, sequential impregnation, and nanomaterial modification to achieve improved light absorption, charge separation, and catalytic durability. Across multiple projects, the research advances fundamental understanding of structure–function relationships while contributing practical solutions for environmental remediation, solar-driven oxidation processes, and sustainable catalytic technologies. This body of work supports ongoing innovation in photocatalytic materials with enhanced stability, reusability, and performance under real-world conditions.

Dr. Arash Pakravesh research focuses extensively on advancing thermodynamic modeling through the development, refinement, and application of SAFT-type equations of state, particularly for complex fluids, supercritical systems, and industrially relevant mixtures. Key contributions include the PρT parameterization of the SAFT equation of state, which introduces an optimized framework for improving accuracy in density, pressure, and temperature predictions across diverse fluid conditions. Additional investigations examine the thermodynamic behavior of supercritical hydrogen using both cubic and SAFT-type models, offering insights essential for hydrogen storage, transportation, and energy technologies. Comparative evaluations involving friction theory, free-volume theory, entropy scaling, and Helmholtz energy scaling viscosity models further demonstrate how coupling these models with PρT-SAFT enhances prediction reliability for ethylene glycols and alkanolamine mixtures. Significant work also explores the modeling of pure, binary, and ternary mixtures of alkanolamines using multiple SAFT versions, contributing valuable data for chemical engineering processes such as gas treatment and solvent design. Moreover, upcoming studies assess the performance of PρT-SAFT, PC-SAFT, CPA, and related equations of state for predicting density, heat capacity, compressibility, speed of sound, and vapor pressure in pure ethylene glycols and their mixtures, collectively advancing the broader understanding of molecular thermodynamics in engineering science.
