About Ali
Associate Professor Ali Saeedi is an esteemed academic in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Curtin University, where he holds the position of Senior Deputy Head of School at the WA School of Mines: Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering. He has been affiliated with Curtin University for two decades, starting as a student and advancing through various academic roles, including Director of Learning and Teaching in the School of WASM-MECE and appointment as Deputy Head of School in January 2022. Saeedi earned his BSc, MSc in 2004, and PhD in 2011 from Curtin University. His PhD thesis, titled "Experimental Study of Multiphase Flow in Porous Media during CO2 Geo-Sequestration Processes," conducted under a full scholarship from the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies and supervised by Professor Reza Rezaee, won the internationally renowned 2011 PhD Thesis Prize from Springer Publications. The thesis was published as a book, contributing significantly to understanding CO2 interactions with saline water and host rocks like sandstone for safe geo-sequestration.
As Associate Professor in Energy Engineering, Saeedi's research focuses on carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS/CCS), multiphase flow in porous media, reservoir engineering, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), low salinity waterflooding, wettability alteration, CO2-assisted EOR, underground hydrogen storage, alcohol-assisted waterflooding, fluid-shale interactions, hydraulic fracturing in shales, and nanotechnology for EOR. His prolific scholarship is evidenced by over 7,060 citations on Google Scholar, with key publications including "Storage Integrity during Underground Hydrogen Storage in Depleted Gas Reservoirs" (2022), "A Coupled Experimental and Simulation Investigations of Miscible WAG Flooding Performance in Cross bedded Sandstone Reservoirs" (2022), "Influence of pH on Acidic Oil–Brine–Carbonate Adhesion Using Atomic Force Microscopy" (2020), "1-Pentanol-Assisted Waterflooding in High Salinity Brine up to 140°C in Carbonate Reservoirs" (2020), and a 2012 paper in Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering (88, 92-99) with 448 citations. Saeedi has supervised doctoral students and contributed to special issues on advances in EOR and reservoir characterization, enhancing knowledge in sustainable energy and petroleum geoscience.
