About
Dr. Tanjin Amin is a Lecturer in Chemical and Environmental Engineering at RMIT University. His core research areas are Process Systems Engineering and System Safety, focusing on developing advanced methodologies for safety analysis, monitoring, and risk management in complex industrial and energy systems. Before joining RMIT, Dr. Amin served as a Postdoctoral Researcher and Visiting Lecturer at Texas A&M University, USA, where he worked on several industry-supported research projects. His research contributed to the development of monitoring and safety frameworks for emerging energy technologies, including battery, hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon capture systems in marine and offshore applications.
He has authored more than 30 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals such as AIChE Journal, Process Safety and Environmental Protection, Reliability Engineering & System Safety, Chemical Engineering Science, and Journal of Cleaner Production. His work has received international recognition, including being listed among the Stanford-Elsevier World’s Top 2% Scientists (2025). Several of his studies have been highlighted as feature papers. His research has also produced technical reports for policymakers and industry stakeholders, including studies on carbon capture and storage safety.
During his doctoral studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Dr. Amin received several competitive awards, including the Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship-Doctoral (CGS-D) and the Dean’s Excellence Award. Dr. Amin actively collaborates with industry and regulatory organisations to translate research findings into practical safety solutions. He has mentored undergraduate and graduate researchers who now work in major energy companies across North America. He also contributes to professional and community initiatives, including providing technical guidance to community members in Houston, Texas, through the Southwest Crossing Community Initiative, where he supported discussions on industrial safety and environmental risks. Dr. Amin serves as an editor for Safety in Extreme Environments and on the editorial board of the journal Environmental Science and Sustainable Technology. At RMIT, his goal is to strengthen connections between academia and industry while advancing safer and more reliable next-generation energy systems.

Teaching interests
Dr. Amin’s teaching focuses on process safety, risk analysis, and systems-based engineering decision making. He aims to help students understand how engineering systems behave under uncertainty and how failures can be prevented through thoughtful design and monitoring. His classes combine theoretical foundations with real-world industrial examples, allowing students to develop practical skills in safety analysis, data-driven modelling, and engineering judgement. By connecting teaching with current research and industry challenges, he prepares students to address safety and reliability issues in modern energy and process industries.
