Dr Maria Parsa (Published name: Maryam Parsa) holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering – Heat & Fluids from the University of Hormozgan, Iran and an MSc in Thermal Power and Fluids Engineering (with Distinction) from the University of Manchester, UK. She also holds an MSc in Energy Conversion and Management (with Distinction) from the University of Nottingham, UK. Subsequently, she was employed as a doctoral researcher by the VEDECOM Institute, France to continue her studies for a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the LAMIH Laboratory (UMR CNRS 8201), Polytechnic University of Hauts-de-France, France. After working as a research engineer at the same university, in 2018, she was awarded the prestigious Doctoral Prize Research Fellowship by Loughborough University, UK. In August 2020, she was appointed to a lectureship at the Department of Mechanical and Construction Engineering at Northumbria University.
Maria’s research is multidisciplinary (i.e., engineering, materials, colloid and interface science, biology) focused on experimental investigation of phase-change heat transfer and fluid flows of pure and complex fluids (i.e., nanofluids, biofluids) at all scales for important technological applications such as printing, coating, thermal management, biomedical and nanotechnologies. Her main research actvities are:
