About Maryam

Dr Maryam Ghodrat is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering and Technology at UNSW Canberra, University of New South Wales. She earned her PhD in 2014 and Master of Engineering in 2010, both from UNSW Sydney. Specialised in thermal fluid and energy systems, her research emphasises combustion science for safety and climate change impacts on thermal systems. She established and leads the Pyrometric Laboratory in 2021, UNSW's fire testing facility equipped for small- and intermediate-scale experiments on flame behaviour, ignition, heat release rates, and material performance under fire exposure. This lab supports studies on bushfire risks, battery fire safety, fire retardants for defence applications, and compliance testing per Australian standards. Ghodrat also heads the Advanced Battery Safety Research Group and the Adaptive Design for Resilient Infrastructures group, supervising five PhD students, one research assistant, and seven honours students. She has taught over 12 undergraduate and graduate courses and supervised four PhD completions at UNSW.
