Overview

Hamed Sanei is affiliated with Aarhus University in Denmark and has a significant research profile spanning several interconnected scientific fields. Their work primarily addresses challenges in engineering, earth and planetary sciences, and environmental science, with a notable focus on topics such as hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis, petroleum processing and analysis, and the paleontology and stratigraphy of fossils.

Sanei's recent publications demonstrate a broad interest in geological and geochemical processes. Among these, notable works include "Genesis of solid bitumen" published in 2020 in Scientific Reports; "Hadal trenches are dynamic hotspots for early diagenesis in the deep sea" (2021) in Communications Earth & Environment; and "Improving the reliability of bulk sediment radiocarbon dating" (2020) in Quaternary Science Reviews. Other significant papers are "Tracing volcanic emissions from the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province in the sedimentary record" (2020) featured in Earth-Science Reviews and "Thermal evolution behavior of the organic matter and a ray of light on the origin of vitrinite-like maceral in the Mesoproterozoic and Lower Cambrian black shales: Insights from artificial maturation" (2021) published in the International Journal of Coal Geology.

The scientist frequently collaborates with a core group of coauthors, including Arka Rudra with 44 joint works, Henrik I. Petersen with 29, Niels H. Schovsbo with 25, Qingyong Luo with 18, and Omid H. Ardakani with 15 publications.
