Fariborz earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Iran's Petroleum University of Technology and has over a decade of experience in CO₂ capture and thermodynamics. His doctoral research focused on precise CO₂ solubility measurements in novel solvents and the development of advanced thermodynamic models for phase equilibrium predictions.

Following his Ph.D., he undertook a postdoctoral fellowship, where he further refined fundamental thermodynamic models such as Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (SAFT), with a particular emphasis on CO₂ capture applications. Beyond academia, he has made significant contributions to the oil and gas industry, applying thermodynamic principles to enhance process efficiency and develop innovative separation techniques.

In February 2023, Fariborz joined Heriot-Watt University as a researcher, where he continues to work on cutting-edge carbon capture technologies.

Fariborz's research primarily focuses on developing advanced methods for CO₂ capture and utilization. His expertise includes:

• Thermodynamic Modeling: Enhancing predictive models for phase behavior and CO₂ solubility, particularly using SAFT and related frameworks.
• Electrochemical CO₂ Capture: Investigating and modeling electrochemical cells for energy-efficient carbon capture and conversion technologies.
• Solvent-Based CO₂ Absorption: Exploring novel solvents and their thermodynamic properties to optimize capture processes.
• Industrial Applications: Bridging the gap between academic research and practical implementation, particularly in the oil and gas sector, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

By integrating thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and process engineering, his research aims to contribute to the development of next-generation carbon capture technologies that are both sustainable and economically viable.
