Dr. Tafreshi is currently a faculty member in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at NC State University. He also serves as the Associate Director for Research at the Nonwovens Institute. Prior to joining NC State University, Dr. Tafreshi was with the Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department at Virginia Commonwealth University from 2007 to 2020, where he worked as assistant, associate, and Qimonda full professor. Dr. Tafreshi received his BS, MS, and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from KNT University of Technology in Tehran (1990-1995), University of Tehran (1995-1997), and Lappeenranta University of Technology in Finland (1997-1999). He also served as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of Milan, Italy (2000-2002) and at NC State University (2002-2004). He was a Research Assistant Professor in the College of Textiles at NC State University from 2004 to 2007. Dr. Tafreshi’s research is in the field of thermo-fluids sciences at its interface with material science. His particular research focus is on multiphase fluids and particle/droplet transport through fibrous materials with applications in filtration and separation sciences. This also includes interfacial phenomena and droplet–surface interactions for self-cleaning and drag reduction applications. Dr. Tafreshi is an active member of the American Filtration and Separation (AFS) Society and also serves on the editorial board of Separation and Purification Technology journal. As of spring 2021, he has published more than 140 peer-reviewed journal articles in the above and other areas of thermo-fluid sciences, including liquid jets and two-phase nozzle flows.
