Omran Abushammala

I’m Omran Abushammala, a doctor of process engineering. I got my PhD degree in Process Engineering from the University of Lorraine, France, where my Ph.D. thesis was on CFD/optimal helical tube design for intensified heat/mass exchangers. Also, I obtained my master’s degree from Polytech Nantes, France, in the field of the thermal and energy sectors.

Moreover, I got a bachelor’s degree in the field of Mechanical engineering at the Islamic University of Gaza and the Technical University of Berlin in parallel. In addition, I have good knowledge of numerical simulation programs and CAD programs, which can be used directly in mechanical and chemical analysis, mass transfer, heat transfer, and dynamic processes. I also have good knowledge of material sciences and mechanical sciences.

In addition, I have worked for the last 8 years on a lot of CFD projects with several applications, and some of them I have published in international conferences and journals.
