Academic position | Farhangian University | Iran 

Jafar Azamat is an Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry at Farhangian University, Tehran, Iran, with a research portfolio spanning over a decade that integrates chemistry education, molecular dynamics simulations, and advanced separation processes. His work primarily focuses on membrane-based technologies for gas separation, desalination, and removal of heavy metals from water, employing computational approaches including molecular dynamics and machine learning to predict and optimize membrane performance. He has contributed significantly to the development of functionalized carbon nanostructures, graphene oxide membranes, graphenylene, borophene, and MXene-based materials for efficient water treatment and gas purification. Azamat’s research also addresses nanoscale interactions in polymer nanocomposites, functionalized nanofibrous mats, and zeolite membranes, advancing the theoretical understanding of adsorption, ion separation, and nanomaterial behavior under various environmental and applied conditions. Beyond materials science, he investigates chemistry education, analyzing students’ academic motivation and comprehension of chemistry concepts, and evaluating experimental science textbooks to improve learning outcomes. His extensive publication record includes over 110 articles in high-impact journals such as the Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, ACS Omega, Separation and Purification Technology, Chemosphere, Computational Materials Science, and the Journal of Membrane Science, in addition to numerous book chapters on nanostructures, separation science, and plastic waste management. Azamat is also an active peer reviewer for more than 80 international journals, reflecting his commitment to maintaining rigorous scientific standards. His multidisciplinary approach bridges fundamental chemical theory, computational modeling, and practical applications in environmental sustainability and chemical education, positioning him as a leading researcher in both nanomaterial-based separation technologies and the enhancement of chemistry pedagogy. His work continues to impact water purification, gas separation, and educational methodologies, demonstrating a strong integration of computational modeling with experimental insights to address real-world chemical and environmental challenges.
