Research Interests:

The underlying theme of A/Prof Moghtaderi's research is thermo-fluid engineering encompassing application areas, such as combustion, renewable energy (biomass utilisation, hydrogen production, and geothermal power generation), microfluidics, fire safety, computational fluid dynamics and laser diagnostics.

Since joining the University of Newcastle in early 1999, A/Prof Moghtaderi has attracted in excess of $5.5 million dollars from nationally competitive funding schemes (predominately the Australian Research Council, ARC) and industry (see the table below for more details).
