Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, by courtesy, of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Center Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy and, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioReimagining liquid waste streams as resources can lead to recovery of valuable products and more efficient, less costly approaches to reducing harmful discharges to the environment. Pollutants in effluent streams can be captured and used as valuable inputs to other processes. For example, municipal wastewater contains resources like energy, water, nutrients, and metals. The Tarpeh Lab develops and evaluates novel approaches to resource recovery from “waste” waters at several synergistic scales: molecular mechanisms of chemical transport and transformation; novel unit processes that increase resource efficiency; and systems-level assessments that identify optimization opportunities. We employ understanding of electrochemistry, separations, thermodynamics, kinetics, and reactor design to preferentially recover resources from waste. We leverage these molecular-scale insights to increase the sustainability of engineered processes in terms of energy, environmental impact, and cost.

Kamran Tehranchi
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioKamran Tehranchi is a Ph.D. Student in Civil & Environmental Engineering at Stanford University researching planning processes for decarbonized and reliable electricity systems. His work focuses on developing energy system optimization models to support policy analysis. He has previously worked in the public sector as a Shultz Energy Fellow at the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), an analyst at a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA), and within city and county governments. He is a member of the Interdisciplinary Energy Systems research group, advised by Professor Ines Azevedo. He holds a M.S. in Civil & Environmental Engineering from Stanford University and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University.
