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).
