Biography
Kamran Iranshahi received his Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2019, specializing in Internal Combustion and Turbomachinery. Kamran pursued his Ph.D. studies at ETH Zurich and Empa, where he dedicated his research efforts to Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) dehydration of biological materials. He obtained his Ph.D. from ETH Zurich in 2022. During his time at Empa, Kamran worked on several research projects focused on optimizing various processes using a combination of multiphysics simulations and experimental methods. His research interests lie in the areas of food processing technologies, multiphase flow, electrohydrodynamics, digital twins, and process optimization via combination of multiphysics simulations and experimental methods.
