Introduction
The International Academic Achievements & Awards event recognizes researchers whose published work shows scholarly rigor and relevance to their field. The Best Research Article Award focuses on individual articles, assessing methodological soundness, clarity of contribution and potential application. Armin Hasanpour is considered here on the basis of his indexed record and recent journal publications in engineering.[1]
His research addresses problems in water treatment, solar energy reliability, hydrogen production and petrochemical process operation, areas closely tied to sustainability and industrial efficiency.
Research Profile
Hasanpour is affiliated with Shahrood University of Technology in Iran, and his Scopus author record lists two documents in the engineering subject area. The record shows no citations and an h-index of 0 at the time of writing, which is consistent with a researcher whose principal articles appeared recently.[1] His ORCID record lists additional works, including journal articles and a preprint, and links his publications to a single persistent identifier.[5]
Research Contributions
His work can be grouped into several themes:
- Membrane technology: a study combining computational fluid dynamics with experiments to evaluate fouling in graphene oxide-modified polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes, published in Water Conservation Science and Engineering.[2]
- Photovoltaic reliability: numerical analysis of how weather conditions affect hail impact severity and damage to photovoltaic panels, published in Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments.[3] A related preprint examines hail impact angle and angular velocity under varying wind speeds.[5]
- Hydrogen and energy systems: simulation and pinch analysis of hydrogen production from biogas.[4]
- Petrochemical processes: theoretical modeling of hydrocarbon sediment formation in distillation towers used for styrene monomer production.[5]
Publications
Selected works associated with the nominee are listed below.
- Tabazadeh, A., Hasanpour, A., Manouchehri, M., & Mousazadehgavan, M. (2026). CFD-based modeling and experimental evaluation of fouling in graphene oxide-modified polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes. Water Conservation Science and Engineering.[2]
- Hasanpour, A., Hassani, F., Afsharpour, A., & Saedpanah, B. (2026). Numerical modeling and analysis of weather conditions effects on hail impact severity and damage to photovoltaic panels. Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments.[3]
- Hasanpour, A., Hoseinzadeh Shandiz, M., Gholian Mohamdi, P., & Taheri, H. (2025). Hydrogen production from biogas: Simulation and pinch analysis. Advanced Journal of Chemistry, Section B.[4]
Research Impact
Bibliometric indicators for the nominee are currently modest, with two indexed documents and no recorded citations.[1] Because several of the articles were published in late 2025 and 2026, citation counts are expected to lag behind publication. The topics themselves, namely membrane fouling, solar panel durability and cleaner hydrogen production, are active areas of applied research, which gives the work a clear context for future citation and use.
Award Suitability
The nominee is considered suitable for the Best Research Article Award for the following reasons:
- Recent publication in peer-reviewed journals, including a Springer-published and an Elsevier-published journal.[2][3]
- Combination of computational modeling with experimental validation.
- Relevance to water treatment, renewable energy and industrial process design.
- Collaborative authorship that reflects engagement with the wider research community.
Conclusion
Armin Hasanpour is an early-stage engineering researcher whose recent articles apply numerical and experimental methods to practical problems in membranes, photovoltaics, hydrogen production and petrochemical processing. His nomination for the Best Research Article Award reflects the quality and relevance of this recent output, and his record is likely to develop as the publications gain readership.[1]
