1- Non-Catalytic Gas-Solid Reactions(NCGSR)
In my Ph.D I worked on these type of reactions. A major group of chemical reactions needs to be analysed physically and modeled mathematically in this category. Reduction of metal oxides for extracting metals in metallurgy, gasification of coal in energy field, absorbing CO2 in climate change problems are significant examples in  NCGSR.
 
2- Code Generation in MATLAB
It's near 11 years that I began to develope applicable codes in MATLAB software. Using different facilities available in this software, I mean different toolboxes, it's more useful to develope codes in it.
