About the Authors / Editors:
Editors: Reza Haghi, PhD
Infrared Analyst, Environmental & Biochemical Sciences Group, James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, United KIngdom

Reza K. Haghi, PhD, is an Infrared Analyst in the Environmental & Biochemical Sciences Group at the James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, UK. He was formerly a research assistant at the Institute of Petroleum Engineering, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Dr. Haghi is an expert in the development and application of spectroscopy techniques for monitoring hydrate and corrosion risks and has developed techniques for early detection of gas hydrate risks. He conducted an integrated experiment and modeling in his studies and has extended his research to monitoring system pH and risk of corrosion. He has published several papers in internationally well-known peer-reviewed scientific journals and has published several papers in conference proceedings as well as technical reports and lecture notes. He has extensive experience in spectroscopy, from both experimental and modeling aspects. During his PhD work, he developed various novel flow assurance techniques based on spectroscopy, as well as designed and operated test equipment. He received his MSc in advanced control system from the University of Salford, Manchester, United Kingdom.
