Mohammad Haghighi was born in Iran, in 1969, where he received both B.Sc. and M.Sc. in chemical engineering from Shiraz University and Isfahan University of Technology in 1992 and 1995, respectively. He joined Sahand University of Technology where he worked as a lecturer as well as researcher until 2003. He did a PhD program on “Catalytic Partial Oxidation of Methane for Direct Conversion of Natural Gas to Methanol” under supervision of Professor Dong-ke Zhang, at Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia in 2007. After that he was back to Sahand University of Technology and appointed as Founding Director of Reactor and Catalysis Research Center. Using funding from industries and organizations and in collaboration with Sahand University of Technology, Reactor & Catalysis Research Center, RCRC, was established in 2000. The RCRC carry out research at industrial level in frontier areas in catalysis and reactor design including development of novel catalytic systems based on plasma, microwave, ultrasound, nano-materials, photo catalysis, and surface studies especially activation of small molecules on single crystal surfaces.

Javad Saien received his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Amir Kabir University of Technology in 1984. He obtained the Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from College of Engineering, University of Tehran, in 1991 and then PhD in Chemical Engineering, from University of Bradfored, UK, in 1995. From 1986, he has been a member of academic staff at Bu-Ali Sian University, Hamedan, where he was promoted to full professor about 12 years ago. His research, during these years, has been concerned on degradation of pollutants in wastewaters using homogenous/heterogeneous processes in different photo and solar reactors. Recently, he is working on persulfate/periodate activation for wastewater treatment. Another field of interest has been liquid-liquid extraction. Single drop experiments, impinging streams, liquid-liquid equilibria and interfacial tension alteration have been investigated. The influence of media and operating conditions like mass transfer intensification with external fields, use of ionic-liquids as solvent/surfactant as well as nanoparticles have been considered.
