Education and career

Hassanipour has a 1998 bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Tehran. [5] [6] She worked as a pipe stress engineer in oil extraction in Iran, as a consultant in Germany, in engineering management in France, and in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in the US, [1] before continuing her graduate education at Southern Methodist University. She completed her Ph.D. in 2009; her doctoral dissertation, A Particulate-flow Heat Exchanger Inspired by Gas Diffusion in Lung Capillaries, was supervised by José L. Lage. [6] In the same year she joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Dallas. [7]

Recognition

The North Texas section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) named Hassanipour as their Young Engineer of the Year in 2009. [1] She received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2015. [2] In 2024, she was named as an ASME Fellow. [8]
