About Me

Greetings! I'm Sam (Mahdi) Mousavi. I'm presently pursuing my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Aalto University in Espoo, Finland. Before this, I earned my Master's degree in Reservoir Engineering from Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran, which furthered my interests after obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering from Shiraz University in Shiraz, Iran. My involvement as a Research Assistant at Aalto has been instrumental in shaping my research endeavors, especially in the field of liquid-liquid extraction processes. During this period, I took the lead in developing decanter models and extensively explored the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for detailed modeling and validation.

Incorporating modern techniques has been a hallmark of my research approach. This includes leveraging 3D printing technology for pore-scale flow processes and harnessing machine learning for reservoir optimization. My proficiency in tools like Python and MATLAB, coupled with expertise in Petroleum Engineering Software and Web Development, signifies my drive to fuse technology and engineering, constantly pushing the boundaries. My academic journey, illuminated by accolades such as the State Scholarship and 'A' grade distinction during my Master's, has been enriched by the mentorship of luminaries like Dr. Saeed Sadeghnejad and Professor Mohamad Reza Malayeri.

I eagerly invite you to explore my research contributions and look forward to potential collaborations or exchanges in our shared domain.

Research Assistant

Aalto University | 2022 - Present

At Aalto University, my role as a Research Assistant positioned me at the forefront of advancements in the field of chemical engineering. I spearheaded the development of a decanter model pivotal for accurately predicting the intricacies of the liquid-liquid extraction process. My endeavors also included the meticulous implementation and validation of an extraction stage model, enhancing the precision of our extraction predictions substantially. By utilizing Population Balance Modeling (PBM), I optimized the separation efficiency of columns, ensuring a top-notch performance. Furthermore, I delved deep into Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling, not only crafting a system model but also verifying its outcomes rigorously. This was crowned by a rigorous validation against experimental data, affirming the model's reliability and accuracy. The culmination of my work was the creation of groundbreaking predictive models for liquid-liquid extraction processes, pushing the boundaries of our current understanding.

Sharepoint and PowerBI Developer

MAPSA Company | 2018 - 2022

During my tenure at MAPSA Company, I functioned as a dynamic bridge between the design team and the application requirements. I fine-tuned SharePoint systems with precision, ensuring they met the nuanced requirements laid out. My role encapsulated the entire development spectrum — from design to coding and eventual implementation of scalable applications. I enriched the SharePoint experience by extending its functionality with intuitive forms, web parts, and more. One of my pivotal roles was to impart system training, ensuring both staff and customers harnessed the full potential of our tools. I was also entrusted with the creation of operational automated reports and dashboards, streamlining processes and delivering data-driven insights. My proficiency extended to MS SQL Server BI Stack tools, including SSRS, TSQL, Power Query, PowerBI, and DAX, enabling me to craft robust analytic solutions. My depth of understanding also encompassed core database fundamentals, ensuring optimized multidimensional and relational database designs.

Research Assistant

Permlab Research Center, Tarbiat Modares University | 2018 - 2019

At Permlab Research Center, I embarked on a groundbreaking study that delved into pore-scale flow processes within heterogeneous carbonate rocks. This ambitious project saw the creation of a transparent, reproducible microfluidic network. Leveraging cutting-edge 3D printing technology (DLP), this network was crafted from genuine, intricate porous geometries derived from CT-Scanned rock samples. This pioneering approach has potential implications for various fields, showcasing the efficacy of modern manufacturing techniques in replicating complex natural structures.

Research Assistant

EOR Research Center, Shiraz University | 2016 - 2018

At the EOR Research Center, my investigative work was centered around the profound impact of Co3O4 nanoparticles on the interfacial tension (IFT) between brine solutions and heavy crude oil systems. Through meticulous research, I discerned how varying concentrations of nanoparticles, ranging from 0.01 to 1 wt percent, influenced the IFT. The insights gained from this study shed light on the potential applications of nanoparticles in enhancing oil recovery and other related processes.
