Dr Maryam (Maria) Parsa holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and an MSc in Thermal Power and Fluids Engineering from the University of Manchester. She also holds an MSc in Energy Conversion and Management from the University of Nottingham. She completed her PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Hauts-de-France. Subsequently, she was awarded the Doctoral Prize Fellowship by Loughborough University. In 2020, she was appointed to a lectureship at the Department of Mechanical and Construction Engineering at Northumbria University. Her research is multidisciplinary (i.e., engineering, materials, colloid and interface science, biology) and focused on experimental investigation of phase-change heat transfer and fluid flows of pure and complex fluids (i.e., nanofluids, biofluids) at all scales for important technological applications such as printing, coating, thermal management, biomedical and nanotechnologies. Her main research activities are evaporation-driven self-assembly, phase-change heat transfer, and antibacterial coating.
