Welcome to my research home

Over the years, I have acquired skills in catalysts development, Process Systems Engineering including process design and simulation, control and optimization, energy system modelling and life cycle assessment. Based on these skills I have participated in several research projects and collaborated with individuals as well as industrial partners.

Completed research projects

• Hydrothermal gasification of waste materials for hydrogen production.

• Anaerobic digestion of food waste to biogas

• Modelling and optimization of integrated biomass valorization processes.

• Process optimization and preliminary techno-economic analysis of glycerol to propylene glycol.

• Biopesticide production from food waste (Collaboration with Prof. Burcu Gunes, DCU).

• Activated carbon functionalization for carbon capture.

• Production of activated carbon for energy storage applications

• Catalyst development for the conversion of glycerol to propylene glycol (Collaboration with Prof. Patrick Okoye).

• Development of a mobile game app for teaching introductory process engineering.

Current research projects

• Development of an integrated Chemical looping gasification system (Collaboration with Prof. Fatih Gulec, Nottingham University)

• Conversion of glycerol to value-added chemicals.

• Underground hydrogen storage (Collaboration with Dr. Epelle Emmanuel, UWS).

• Design of a mobile pyrolysis unit.

• Modelling and process optimization of hydrogen production systems.

• Catalysts development for catalysis hydrogenolysis of lignin-based compounds to sustainable chemicals (Collaboration with Prof. Kausn Gunasooriya).
