Dr Samane Maroufi
Senior Lecturer
Science
School of Materials Science & Engineering
My field of research is high temperature metallurgical processes and iron-steel making where I have used my interdisciplinary skill and knowledge (Materials Science and Engineering, and Chemical Engineering) to develop new science and technology for the 听recycling of waste and producing a new generation of green materials, products and resources made entirely, or primarily, from waste.
In 2019, I used my experience and knowledge in the area of sustainability to fully design two new elective courses of MATS6006 (Recycling of waste) and MATS6007 (Sustainable Materials Engineering) for postgraduate students in School of Materials Science and Engineering, based on an entirely new teaching pedagogy which I developed.
