About

Dr. Larimi received her PhD in Chemical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2016. Her research addresses global challenges in energy demand and environmental sustainability through the development of advanced catalytic systems.

Her work focuses on the design and physicochemical characterisation of heterogeneous (nano)catalysts, alongside the development of high-efficiency reactor systems and process modelling and simulation. She specialises in tailoring the properties of porous materials to enhance catalytic performance based on structure–function relationships. Her research spans both experimental and theoretical approaches and includes applications such as CO₂ reduction, wastewater treatment, hydrogen (H₂) production, fuel desulfurisation, water splitting, and biomass valorisation.

She has established strong international collaborations across the UK, China, France, Australia, Spain, Germany, and India, and has an excellent publication record in high-impact journals, with her work widely cited in the field of catalysis.

Taught Modules

EG-210 Thermodynamics of Process Design

This module continues to develop further the fundamentals of thermodynamics studied previously. It will develop the general applications needed in process engineering with particular reference to reactor design, separation processes, flow processes, heat engines and energy balance techniques.
EG-M190 Socio-Technical Engineering

There is an increasing need for engineers to work towards complex, so called 'wicked problems', for example the secure and sustainable supply of energy, clean water and digital services. This necessitates a holistic approach and involves making decisions based on a range of different factors, and consideration of economic, ethical, social, political and environmental, as well as technical limitations. Obtaining and making sense of such information involves types of knowledge and the use of tools and techniques that have not always been traditionally used within engineering disciplines. For example, ethical issues concerning negative impacts on environment or society may raise questions of value, duty or morality and requires the application of moral reasoning rather than scientific reasoning. During this module we will introduce and explore these areas in an interactive way by making use of a variety of engineering case studies which exemplify the need to consider non-technical aspects of engineering projects. The module will also develop skills in qualitative research approaches, critical thinking, communications skills and the use of frameworks to help in our engineering decision making. We will also consider the role of the engineer in policy making.
EGCM30 MSc Dissertation - Chemical Engineering

The EGCM30 research project is the major item of directed independent learning undertaken during the master¿s programme and will normally be carried out on a research topic proposed by a member of staff from the Faculty of Science & Engineering. Study for the dissertation, which may be based on practical, industrial, simulation or literature work, or any combination of these, is carried out over a period of about 12 weeks, with the dissertation submitted at the end of September.
