Dr Salman Jalalifar obtained his PhD in Maritime Engineering from Australian Maritime College, the University of Tasmania. His PhD research focuses on the operational management of the fast pyrolysis process using numerical modeling. Besides several years in the energy-related industry, he has a scholarly track record in heat transfer, energy conversion, fluid mechanics, numerical modelings, and multi-phase flow dynamics. Dr Jalalifar is currently working on designing and fabricating a smart device for a drowning detection and tracking system that would continuously monitor the wearer’s swimming pattern, depth, and heartbeat and send a signal to emergency services and lifeguards in case of a potential drowning event.

Sajad A. Moshizi graduated from Amirkabir University of Technology, majoring in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in fluid dynamics. His PhD research aims to develop a biomimetic vestibular system to restore balance of body. Since vestibular disorders afflict 1 in 3 people throughout their lives, his project seeks to help elderlies to decrease the consequences of vestibular dysfunction, including chronic impairment of balance, posture, and/or gaze stability. He has fabricated several novel hair cell sensory systems using advanced materials and nanotechnology with high sensitivity, very low-frequency detection, and low response time. He has modeled a bioinspired vestibular system equipped with the hair cell sensor using 3D printing technology. This research paves the way for developing the next generation of vestibular implants, with the ultimate goal of restoring balance dysfunction. The research findings have been published in prestigious journals such as Nano-Micro Letters, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, and Advanced Materials Technologies.
