Reza Haghbakhsh was born in 1989 in Kermanshah, Iran. He graduated in Petroleum Engineering in 2011 from Petroleum University of Technology and received his MSc in 2014 in Chemical Engineering from the Shiraz University. He obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2018 from Shiraz University, in thermodynamic investigation of physical properties and phase equilibria of Deep Eutectic Solvents, under the supervision of Dr. Sona Raeissi. He is currently a Post-Doc at the Faculdade de Ciencias e Tecnologia of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and associated laboratory LAQV@Requimte, and is involved in phase behaviour and theoretical modelling of binary and ternary mixtures of NADES/THEDES and supercritical CO₂.

His main research interests are focused on phase equilibria, physical properties estimation and characterization, and also thermodynamic modelling of green solvents for use in industrial applications. Up to now, he is the author and co-author of 26 international peer-reviewed journals and also 5 papers in conference proceedings.
