Hamed is developing new technologies for the integration of renewable energy sources into building climatization systems. His work focuses on innovative applications of low-enthalpy systems used in building infrastructure for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water—services that are traditionally powered by fossil fuels. One of the core areas of his research involves the integration of solar thermal energy with heat pump systems, a concept known as the Solar-Assisted Heat Pump (SAHP). This approach aims to enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs, and offer greater flexibility in installation, while also maximizing the utilization of solar radiation in residential environments.
Hamed is exploring energy efficiency as a practical strategy to generate clean energy and mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuel dependency within the energy sector. His primary research objective is to evaluate the performance of a solar-assisted heat pump system equipped with a novel dual-source evaporator. This component is designed to be closely integrated with both photovoltaic and thermal modules. Additionally, Hamed is investigating the potential of nanofluids as a refrigerant to improve system efficiency. His work also includes exploring the unique properties of nanofluids that may enhance the interaction between the components of the heat exchanger and the photovoltaic panels.
Currently pursuing a master’s degree in Environmental Engineering at the University of Bologna, Hamed brings a strong academic foundation in chemical engineering to his work. His passion for sustainable energy solutions has been the driving force behind his research efforts, particularly in his master’s thesis. This thesis centers on optimizing energy performance in residential buildings, with a special focus on the application of geothermal heat pumps. Through this project, Hamed has gained critical insights into the practical implementation of sustainable technologies and their role in improving energy efficiency in the built environment.
