Research Interests
- Biorefinery system design (biomass and waste valorisation; gasification; pyrolysis; hydrothermal liquefaction; Fischer-Tropsch; sustainable aviation fuel production)
- Decarbonised polygeneration system design (carbon capture and utilisation; combined heat and power; fuel and chemical production)
- Resource recovery from waste and Circular economy (management and valorisation of municipal solid waste including food waste, residual waste, recyclable waste)
My research involves multidisciplinary and international collaboration in view of promoting sustainability and circular economy practices in the developing countries and addressing global challenges. Our initiatives are featured in the and Final Reports:
