Profile

I Joined Aston University in 2005 as an undergraduate student and after completing my MEng degree in Chemical Engineering I decided to continue in academia as a research student studying bio-energy related topics and the integration of bio-energy applications from pilot scale to full scale. Currently I am carrying out a project in collaboration with three of the biggest paper mills in the UK to investigate ways of utilising their waste fractions produced on-site for the generation of a sustainable CHP (Combined Heat and Power) system.

Qualifications & Education

• MEng with First Class Honours in Chemical Engineering, Aston University 2009
• PhD in Bio-energy, Aston University, 2009-present

Teaching activity

Teaching undertaken includes the supervision and guidance of final year masters students completing their research projects and supervising second year undergraduate students in laboratories.

Research interests

Particular areas of interest include feedstock characterisation and pre-treatment methods, thermal conversion with both (fixed bed downdraft gasification and intermediate pyrolysis systems), the quantification and analysis of  bio liquids, char and gaseous products formed, the economic and environmental modelling of sustainable CHP systems and the integration of combined thermal conversion techniques for use in full scale industrial CHP applications.
