Dr Maryam Ghodrat, a Senior Lecturer, established and leads the Pyrometric Laboratory at UNSW, which has dedicated flame behaviour testing equipment to unravel the fundamental behaviour of materials, products and systems exposed to direct and indirect flame. She has also designed and built a modular subsonic combustion wind tunnel at UNSW for visualisation of flame propagation.
Dr Ghodrat’s research also focuses on the development of accurate physical and computational fluid dynamics models to advance new energy technologies for renewable fuels such as hydrogen and biomass. Her research spans various themes including:
- Environmental heat & mass transfer
- Climate change impact on thermal systems
- AI and hybrid methods in thermal analyses
- Thermal management in sustainable buildings
- Thermo-Fluid visualisation
Dr Ghodrat is also a leader of two research teams Heat Transfer and Combustion and Adaptive Design for Resilient Structures at the School of Engineering & Technology, UNSW. Her research is interdisciplinary and broadly focused on development of robust, scalable, and adaptive solution techniques for computational fluid dynamics, error estimation, parallel computation and design under uncertainty.
