Ï㽶ÊÓƵ

About

I completed my MEng and Doctoral qualifications in Chemical Engineering at the University of Sheffield in 2014. I was awarded the 2015 Foxwell Memorial Prize for my research designing a partial oxidation burner to thermally destroy tars produced during biomass gasification. In 2014, I joined an energy and environmental consultancy company as a Renewable Energy Technologist. I worked on several collaborative R&D projects in the energy-from-waste and bioenergy sectors including plasma gasification and anaerobic digestion. I joined Ï㽶ÊÓƵ as Postdoctoral Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Assistant in the National Centre of Excellence for Food Engineering to work on an Innovate UK funded project to develop a novel heat exchanger for the food industry. I became a full-time Chemical Engineering Lecturer in September 2018 and became Course Leader a year later. I am an Associate Member of the IChemE and a Fellow of HEA.
