  • Biography/ Background

    Muhammad Aqib Chishty completed his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of New South Wales, Sydney, ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. Aqib has 15 years of CFD modeling experience and has developed models/codes for reacting multiphase flows. After completing his PhD, he worked as a research associate at the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Sydney and later moved to Sweden to pursuing his postdoc at the Luleå Tekniska Universitet, Luleå, Sweden. Aqib has developed models for biomass gasification of wood pellets, pyrolysis oil and gas turbine engines.

    From 2022 to 2024, Aqib worked in the Swedish industry at Research Insitute of Sweden, RISE, Piteå where he developed CFD models of an iron ore pelletizer for LKAB, the biggest iron ore. During his time in Sweden, he co-supervised 3 PhD students, and all of them graduated. At RISE, he worked on 5 industrial projects and acted as a project manager for 2 projects. He was responsible for supervising Master students, budget management, bi-weekly meetings with clients and writing the final report. Furthermore, Aqib was the recipient of grant applications from the Swedish Energy Agency for two projects, i.e., 250,000 SEK and 6 million SEK to develop models for clean energy production. 

    He has strong ties with Swedish industry and working with Swedish energy partner Meva Energy AB, Kisa to scale up the biomass gasification plant from 4.5 MW to 9 MW.

    Currently, Aqib is working on the project from Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT - CRC), which aims to advance the technical development in the use of hydrogen as fuel in iron and cement sectors. He is also working on the development of novel H2 burner designs and assessing the performance via CFD modeling.

    Aqib is a specialist in numerical combustion, biomass gasification, clean energy production and burner design. He has published 17 publications in leading journals and 18 papers in peer-reviewed conferences.
