Personal profile
General
Dr Jude Onwudili joined Aston University in November 2015 as a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering. He was previously a Research Fellow at the renowned Energy Research Institute, School of Chemical & Process Engineering at the University of Leeds, under the supervision of Professor Paul T. Williams.
Dr Onwudili is an experienced researcher, having worked on a number of EPSRC-funded and industrially-funded research projects on catalytic and non-catalytic thermochemical (hydrothermal, combustion, pyrolysis and gasification) processing of biomass, plastics, algae and municipal solid wastes for the production of fuels, chemicals and materials.
He is currently developing and leading a Sustainable Chemicals Laboratory at the European Bioenergy Research Institute, Aston University.
