Before joining the University of Florida in 2010, he was a postdoc (2007-2010) in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research is focused on micro\/nanoscale transport and nanotechnology. His major contributions to science and technology are: demonstration of membrane-based absorption\/desorption cycle with a significantly higher performance compare to the existing technologies; the most detailed physical insight, over nearly a century of nucleate boiling science, on the nature of thermal field at the bubble-surface interface; development of the first Si-based proton exchange membrane (PEM) capable of operating at dry ambient; and development of the world\u2019s smallest fuel cell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Moghaddam&#8217;s\u00a0research interests include: \u00a0Micro\/nanoscale transport and nanotechnology for energy science and health applications; nanoengineering of functionalized membranes for energy conversion and storage and filtration\/separation applications; heat and mass transfer in micro\/nanostructures; microfluidic reactor platforms for fundamental energy research and reaction engineering; portable power<\/p>\n<p><strong>Research Projects:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"activity name\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n9906419667\">Probing Interfacial Phase-Change Transport Events in Flowboiling on Micro- and Nanotextured Surfaces<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0awarded by\u00a0<a title=\"awarded by\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n28779\">National Science Foundation<\/a>\u00a0<span class=\"listDateTime\">2014\u00a0&#8211;\u00a02017<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"activity name\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n2795902953\">Physics of Ultrasonic Drying Process<\/a>\u00a0<span class=\"listDateTime\">2014\u00a0&#8211;\u00a02016<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"activity name\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n8745326059\">Strain Engineered Hi-K Hafnium Oxide Ferroelectric Thin Films Towards Multi-Functional Sensor\/Logic Acuator\/Memory<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0awarded by\u00a0<a title=\"awarded by\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n1837678537\">Semiconductor Research Corporation<\/a>\u00a0<span class=\"listDateTime\">2013\u00a0&#8211;\u00a02016<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"activity name\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n5640034006\">A Combined Water Heater, Dehumidifier, and Cooler (Whdc)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0awarded by\u00a0<a title=\"awarded by\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n637653530\">US Department of Energy<\/a><span class=\"listDateTime\">2014\u00a0&#8211;\u00a02015<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"activity name\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n3779968699\">Absorption Water Heater Development Project<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0awarded by\u00a0<a title=\"awarded by\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n637653530\">US Department of Energy<\/a>\u00a0<span class=\"listDateTime\">2012\u00a0&#8211;\u00a02014<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"additionalItems\"><a title=\"activity name\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n1316715105\">Nanoengineered Membrane Based Absorption Cooling for Buildings Using Unconcentrated Solar and Waste Heat<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0awarded by\u00a0<a title=\"awarded by\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n637653530\">US Department of Energy<\/a>\u00a0<span class=\"listDateTime\">2010\u00a0&#8211;\u00a02015<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"additionalItems\"><a title=\"activity name\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n1682569006\">Thermohydraulic and Material Characterization of Nanostructured Wicks<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0awarded by\u00a0<a title=\"awarded by\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n85398418\">US Department of Defense Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency<\/a>\u00a0<span class=\"listDateTime\">2012\u00a0&#8211;\u00a02014<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"additionalItems\"><a title=\"activity name\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n1685193761\">Nano-Engineered Ultra-High Energy Density Storage Device<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0awarded by\u00a0<a title=\"awarded by\" href=\"https:\/\/vivo.ufl.edu\/display\/n632392672\">Dais Analytic<\/a>\u00a0<span class=\"listDateTime\">2010\u00a0&#8211;\u00a02011<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Publications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=tJJJlK4AAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Saeed Moghaddam&#8217;s Publications found with Google Scholar<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Ph.D., University of Maryland Nanoelectronics, Nanosystems Department of Mechanical &amp; Aerospace Engineering\u00a0| Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering Dr. Moghaddam\u00a0received his Ph.D.\u00a0at the University of Maryland in 2006. \u00a0Saeed Moghaddam, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in University of Florida.
