Riyaz Kharat

Riyaz Kharrat is a professor of engineering at Montanuniversität Leoben.

His research interests and activities are about enhanced oil recovery (EOR), improved oil recovery (IOR), asphaltene & wax studies, thermal recovery methods, and reservoir modeling and simulation.

Kharrat was born on 8 December 1956 in Karbala. He graduated from Hakim Sanai High School of Esfahan, Iran in 1975. He then went to the United States to continue his studies. He obtained his BSc degree in chemical engineering from Kansas University in the United States in 1981, then continued his education with a master's degree and doctorate in chemical engineering, majoring in enhanced oil recovery. During his staying at Kansas University, he was teaching math courses and was working in the Tertiary Oil Recovery Project (TORP).

Kharrat has published more than 170 ISI International publications in well-known international journals, 48 SPE papers, 27 national journals and had participated in more than 165 national and international seminar and symposia and had supervised more than 130 MSc. and PhD. thesis in the field of chemical and petroleum engineering.
