Najafpour - Biochemical Engineering

Ghasem Najafpour is distinguished professor in Chemical Engineering and the Chairman of Biotechnology Research Center, Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Iran. He is an educated scholar from University of Arkansas, USA with strong background in biological processes. He is deeply involved in research and teaching in biochemical engineering subjects since 1980 and has conducted many practical research projects in the fields of biofuel and biochemical engineering. He has served as academic member of University of Mazandran, Visiting Professor at University of Waterloo, Canada and University of Arkansas, USA, University Science Malaysia (USM, Penang) and Babol Noshirvani University of Technology. He also spent his sabbatical leave at University of Arkansas, USA (1992-1993). He has expanded his scientific research activities on single cell protein (SCP), hydrogen as clean fuel, microbial fuel cells, renewable energy and synthetic fuels. Since 2005, he was qualified and appointed as Professor in the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Iran.
