Dr. Shohreh Hemmati
Assistant Professor
Bio
Dr. Shohreh Hemmati is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at USM. Prior to this position, she served as an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at Oklahoma State University (OSU) from 2018 to 2024. Before joining OSU, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Purdue University. Dr. Hemmati earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of New Hampshire in 2016.
She holds an M.S. in Energy Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, where she also worked as a Research Scientist at the Sharif Energy Research Institute from 2009 to 2012. Dr. Hemmati received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Arak University in 2006.
Dr. Hemmati's research interests focus on green nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing. Specifically, she specializes in the synthesis of metal nanostructures, with an emphasis on green and sustainable methods using millifluidic techniques. She integrates these techniques with machine learning to achieve precise control over the size and morphology of the nanostructures. Dr. Hemmati's research is primarily funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
