Aram received his B.Sc. from Tehran Azad University in Iran and his M.Sc. degree from University of Liverpool, UK. During his master degree, he was involved in a vibration experiment and the related Finite Element Modeling Analysis. He joined Prof. Saghir research group as a PhD student in 2007. His research area is in Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Mass transfer and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The project studies the effect of temperature and vibration on a liquid mixture. He performed the analytical and numerical parts of the project as well as analyzing the experimental results.

Md Abdur Rahman received his BSc in mechanical engineering from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET) in March 2007 and MASc in mechanical engineering from Ryerson University in November 2008. Since September 2007, he has joined department of mechanical engineering at Ryerson University as a research and graduate assistant. His research interest is chemical physics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Elham recieved her B.Sc from University of Tehran in Iran and her M.Sc degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ryerson University in May 2010. During her master degree, she gained experience working on metal powder compaction. She continued as a doctoral student under supervision of Dr. Ziad Saghir in 2010. Her research area is in thermodiffusion and mass transfer on metal liquid mixture.

Amirhossin holds a bachelor of Aerospace Engineering from K.N.T University of Technology, Iran in 2010.

His research interest is Natural Convection and Thermal Diffusion in Porous Media

Armin received an honour bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree in 2010 from Ryerson University. His research areas include thermal design, HVAC, and Computer Aided Drafting/ Design. He joined Dr. Saghir’s research group in May 2011. His research objective is to study influence of g-jitter vibration on measurement of thermodiffusion coefficient by analysing (i.e. image processing) experimental data from ISS.

Ahmad recieved his bachelor in Mechanical Engineering from university of Tabriz, Iran in 2009. He has recently joined the group in September 2011. His research area is CFD, multi-phase flow, heat and mass transfer. He is now working on the 3-D modelling of thermodiffusion experiments perfomed in ISS by having the effects of g-jitter vibrations into picture.
