About Me


Mahdi Shahrjerdi, AMIMechE

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Cleanroom & Critical Environment Specialist


Over 21 years designing mission-critical HVAC and building services systems for hospitals, BSL-3 laboratories, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, and next-generation space habitats.

I am a UK-recognised Senior Mechanical Engineer and Associate Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (AMIMechE), specialising in high-containment facilities and energy-efficient system design.

My work bridges advanced engineering practice with cutting-edge research in AI-driven cleanroom technology and sustainable extraterrestrial habitats.

Professional Summary


With more than 21 years of hands-on experience in the design, supervision, and commissioning of complex HVAC and Building Services systems, I have built a career focused on mission-critical environments where precision, reliability, and innovation are non-negotiable.

My expertise spans ISO-classified cleanrooms, BSL-3 laboratories, large-scale healthcare facilities, and industrial energy optimisation projects — many of which have achieved up to 75% energy reduction through advanced modelling and re-engineering. Recognised by UK ENIC at RQF Level 6, I combine deep technical knowledge with digital engineering tools (Revit MEP, BIM) and a passion for pushing the boundaries of sustainable engineering.


Core Expertise

 

  • HVAC Design & Optimisation (Air & Water Side)
  • Cleanroom Technology (ISO 14644) & GMP Compliance
  • High-Containment Laboratories (BSL-3)
  • Healthcare MEP Systems & Medical Gas
  • BIM & Digital Engineering (Revit MEP, AI-assisted Thermal Analysis)
  • Technical Auditing & Judicial Expert Witnessing

 


Professional Journey

Since 2002, I have led mechanical and MEP projects across healthcare, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. Notable achievements include:

  • Design and 3D BIM modelling of MEP systems for Konarak Hospital (250 beds) and Gachsaran Hospital (64 beds)
  • Engineering of specialised HVAC systems for BSL-3 laboratories at the Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute
  • Successful transition of complex mechanical rooms to Revit BIM, reducing onsite conflicts by over 40%
  • Delivery of cleanroom validation projects for pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients

In parallel, since 2014 I have served as a Certified Judicial Expert Witness, providing independent technical auditing and expert testimony in high-value engineering disputes.


Thought Leadership & Research

Beyond project delivery, I am an active contributor to the global engineering community:

  • Author of 10 engineering reference books, including The Cleanroom Equipment Handbook (2024)
  • Author of peer-reviewed research articles on AI-driven cleanroom design for Mars habitats and water quality assessment of high-altitude volcanic lakes
  • Current Peer Reviewer for Elsevier (Acta Astronautica), specialising in extraterrestrial habitat engineering

My research and publications reflect a continuous commitment to advancing the future of cleanroom technology, sustainable systems, and interplanetary engineering.


Education & Professional Credentials

 

  • BSc in Mechanical Engineering (Fluids & Heat Transfer) – Islamic Azad University Verified by UK ENIC as comparable to a British Bachelor’s degree (Honours)
  • Associate Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (AMIMechE) – Ref: 80791067
