Research summary
AI-generated

Saba Navabzadeh Esmaeely's research focuses on how metals like mild steel corrode and degrade in harsh chemical environments, particularly those containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide (common in oil and gas systems). More recently, the work has shifted toward evaluating whether existing natural gas pipelines and storage infrastructure can be safely repurposed or blended to transport and store hydrogen, addressing material integrity and durability concerns relevant to the transition to hydrogen energy.

Publication output was active in the late 2010s, dropped to near zero between 2020 and 2023, then picked up again in 2024-2025 with a shift toward hydrogen infrastructure topics.
