Jahanbakhsh Jahanzamin is a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student at Carleton University. He received his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology (2016), focusing on using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in simulating multiphase microfluidic systems. He further pursued an M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology (2019) in which he utilized a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) model of the left heart and mitral valve to study turbulence in cardiovascular flows in ADINA. By incorporating different Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) turbulent models to analyze mitral valve vortex ring dynamics, this research led to the development of an energy dissipation-based framework for analyzing mitral valve function with potential applications in prosthetic heart valve design.
Upon joining the National Research Council Canada (NRC) as a visitor researcher, he worked on developing CFD/FSI models for studying the interaction of nanoplastic particles (50 nm) with filtration systems in COMSOL Multiphysics and ANSYS Fluent, leading to optimizing the performance of the Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) system for separating nanoplastics from environmental samples. He further explored the application of CFD in improving the sensitivity of microfluidic optical biosensors by manipulating vortex structures in fluid flow. During this time, he also developed a wide range of biochemistry laboratory skills such as PDMS casting and surface modification, fluorescent & UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) chip fabrication for pathogen detection.
Jahanbakhsh joined the EPTL group as a Ph.D. Student. His research is focused on optimizing chemical kinetics models of carbon black formation in methane pyrolysis.
