O autorze

Farschad Torabi is an assistant professor at K. N. Toosi University of Technology, Iran. His research interests include renewable energies, batteries and electrochemical systems. His background is in mechanical engineering and his research agenda addresses numerical simulation, using a combination of computational fluid mechanics and analytical methods. Pouria Ahmadi is currently a lecturer and Researcher at the Institute of Sustainability, Energy and Environment (ISEE) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). At UIUC he is working on electric vehicle selection towards sustainable transportation from various points of view from technical aspects to life cycle assessment and degradation model. Prior to joining UIUC, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Fuel Cell Research Laboratory (FCReL) of Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Vancouver, BC, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. He has 85 publications in high-ranked and peer-reviewed journals, and at international conferences, he has several book chapters in energy related books. He also serves as editorial board member, guest editor and organizer for ASME conferences.
