The Ragnar Wighus Award, a prize bestowed by the International Water Mist Association (IWMA), has this year been won by Azad Hamzehpour
Created to honour young scientists who have dedicated their thesis to water mist, this year’s prize winner has finished his Ph.D. thesis at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy under the supervision of Prof. Vittorio Verda and Prof. Romano Borchiellini.
As it is tradition, Azad has been invited to the upcoming International Water Mist Conference which in 2025 will take place in Manchester, UK on 24th and 25th September. There he will get the opportunity to introduce his Ph.D. thesis entitled “Experimental and Simulation Analysis of Water Mist Systems for shielded Fire Applications” to an audience of experts.
