Ms. Maryam Mohagheghi, Ph.D. HFSinclair / Petro Canada Lubricants . Technology Team
Bio: Maryam Mohagheghi holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. In 2014, she joined HF Sinclair, where Petro-Canada Lubricants is one of the company’s brands, as a Technology Product Specialist.
Maryam currently serves as the Technology Solutions Lead for HF Sinclair’s INNOVATE™ Immersion Cooling product line, supporting the development and commercialization of dielectric fluid solutions for data center and AI cooling applications.
In addition, she is the Co-Chair of the Open Compute Project (OCP) Industry Liaison Team, helping facilitate collaboration and two-way communication between industry stakeholders and standards organizations.
Maryam also leads several technology portfolios within the Petro-Canada Lubricants, including the LUMINOL transformer fluids portfolio, as well as transmission and drivetrain oils and tractor hydraulic fluids. Her focus includes product development, technology leadership, innovation, and customer-driven solution development across a range of technology applications.
Abstract: The rapid adoption of AI and high-performance computing is driving significant increases in data center power density and heat generation. As traditional cooling technologies approach their practical limits, the industry is accelerating the transition toward more efficient liquid cooling solutions.
This presentation examines the drivers behind this shift and explores immersion cooling as a key technology for future data center infrastructure. The session will cover immersion cooling technologies, dielectric fluid options, and the critical fluid properties required to deliver reliable thermal performance. Attendees will gain an understanding of how immersion cooling can help support higher-density computing while improving energy efficiency and enabling the next generation of AI-ready data centers.
