Mohammad earned his doctoral degree in materials science and engineering from Florida International University (FIU) and received his M.Sc. in Corrosion and Protection of Materials from the Sharif University of Technology. He spent several years in various industrial sections, mainly to control corrosion and protect different types of materials in corrosive environments. He was the manager of the R&D section in Maham Imensaz Co. until 2013, working to develop new corrosion inhibitors and scale removers.

Adam C. Powell, IV is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering department who joined the Worcester Polytechnic Institute faculty in August 2018. His field is materials processing, and research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions reduction, elimination, and drawdown. Current projects aim to reduce vehicle body weight, lower solar cell manufacturing energy use and cost with improved safety, reduce or eliminate aviation greenhouse gas impact, power ships, and trains with zero emissions, and improve grid stability as we drive toward 100% renewables. The driving force for achieving these goals is the mathematical modeling of metal processes, particularly electrochemical processes, validated by key experiments.

Gabriel is a sophomore at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical Design. He is enthusiastic about sustainable engineering practices and hopes to incorporate them throughout his design career.

Lucien is a junior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Studies. He has a passion for nature and the environment and hopes to build a career working to protect it.
