Dr. Masoumeh Bararzadeh Ledari | Bioprocess Engineering | Best Research Article Award
Lecturer at Amirkabir University of Technology | Iran
Dr. Masoumeh Bararzadeh Ledari is an accomplished academic, researcher, and technical consultant specializing in energy engineering, climate change, sustainable resource management, and decarbonization strategies, with significant experience across academia, industry, and international collaborations. She earned her Ph.D. in Energy Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran (2014–2021), where her doctoral thesis focused on hybrid technology evaluation models for minimizing ecosystem sustainability impacts, following her M.Sc. in Energy Engineering from the same institution (2009–2011) and a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Tehran (2004–2008). Throughout her career, she has held academic positions as Lecturer, Adjunct Professor, and Instructor at leading Iranian universities, including AmirKabir University of Technology, Sharif University of Technology, and the University of Tehran, where she has taught courses in renewable energy systems, waste management, building energy simulation, and optimization. Her professional experience extends to leadership roles such as Scientific Director at Tadbirgaran Energy Company, Technical Manager at the Presidential Center for Progress and Development, and Head of Technology Management Groups at multiple organizations, including Butia Steel Company and Engineering & Industrial Management Consultants Group, where she has directed projects in hydrogen energy transition, carbon capture and storage, petrochemical value chains, and energy-environmental modeling. She has also contributed internationally as a Research Scientist at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria and the Research Centre for Energy Resources and Consumption in Spain, focusing on water-food-energy nexus models and thermodynamic modeling of biosystems. Her research interests include climate change mitigation, regenerative life models, corporate decarbonization in petrochemical and steel industries, exergy-based ecosystem analysis, and AI-driven energy optimization. Skilled in technical-economic feasibility studies, LCA/LCP modeling, energy policy, greenhouse gas accounting, and process simulation, she has authored influential research cited over 400 times (h-index 11). Her honors include leading multi-sectoral projects with UNDP, FAO, and national ministries on climate policy, stakeholder engagement, and natural resource management. In conclusion, Masoumeh Bararzadeh Ledari has established herself as a versatile scholar and practitioner who bridges academia, industry, and policymaking, advancing innovative approaches to sustainable energy, climate resilience, and decarbonization pathways, while contributing to both national development and global sustainability initiatives.
