Rasoul Nikbakhti is a research fellow in College of Science and Engineering, School of Engineering at University of Tasmania, Australia. He is currently working on novel Refrigeration Systems thermally driven by low-grade temperature heat sources such as the waste energy from industrial processes, and solar or geothermal energy, as a part of his PhD project. He received his B.S. (2007) and M.Sc (2009) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, 3rd ranked university in Iran. His M.Sc thesis mainly focused on Double-diffusive convection. He put a lot of effort to gain a profound knowledge in the field of heat and mass transfer lead to publish different research papers in international journals. He is also a reviewer for some international journals as achieved some certificates for cooperating with them.
