Milad Abolhasani is an Associate Professor, an ALCOA Scholar, and a University Faculty Scholar in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University. He received his B.Sc. (2008) and M.A.Sc. (2010) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology and the University of British Columbia, respectively. He then obtained his Ph.D. degree (2014) from the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in collaboration with the Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Toronto. Before joining NC State University, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT (2014-2016). Dr. Abolhasani leads a diverse research group that studies flow chemistry strategies tailored towards accelerated development and manufacturing of advanced functional materials and molecules using autonomous robotic experimentation. 

Dr. Abolhasani has received numerous awards, recognitions, and fellowships, including NSF CAREER Award, Machine Learning in Chemical Sciences & Engineering Award from The Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation, 2022 AIChE NSEF Young Investigator Award, AIChE 35 Under 35, I &EC Research 2021 Class of Influential Researchers, ACS-PRF Doctoral New Investigator Award, AIChE Futures Scholar, The John C. Chen Young Professional Leadership Scholarship (AIChE), ALCOA Scholar, University Faculty Scholar, GoodNight Early Career Innovator Award, Chancellor's Innovation Fund Award, NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship, and Emerging Investigator recognition from Nanoscale, Lab on a Chip, Reaction Chemistry & Engineering, and Journal of Flow Chemistry.
