General

I am a lecturer within the Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry department. My research interests lie in the field of:

Advanced thermal conversion
• Intermediate and slow pyrolysis process development
• Biomass derived liquid for diesel and heavy marine fuels
• Waste plastic polymer conversion to chemical monomers
• Novel bio-bitumen and bio-asphalt

Energy System
• Combined heat and power from stationary engine system
• Renewable energy system integration (e.g. biological, thermal and solar processing) and evaluation
• Energy system techno-economic evaluation and carbon footprint analysis
