Control and operation of advanced modular chemical looping process
The deployment of next-generation chemical processes requires the implementation of new equipment and materials that will enhance the performance in terms of economics and environmental performance. Read more
General Applicability and Quantitative Predictability of Complex Population-Based Crystallization Models
This project performed in collaboration with Bayer AG (Leverkusen, Germany) will address key challenges in developing experimentally validated process models to aid in the production of crystalline pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals at different scales (lab-pilot-plant). Read more
Integral valorisation of waste biomass to obtain bioactive compounds and furans
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
The project. The biorefinery concept has been gaining momentum in the last years as many countries have adopted policies and national strategies to steer towards a biobased economy. Read more
Deep learning assisted imaging analysis and upscaling (Digital Rock Manchester)
Multi-scale and dynamic imaging techniques have been demonstrated to be one of the powerful tools in materials characterisation. However, the images cannot always satisfy the scientific of industrial requirement. Read more
Multi-scale characterisation of the subsurface system for decarbonation energy (Digital Rock Manchester)
The subsurface system can act as a large-scale, low-cost and safe system for huge storage for either energy or waste, which provides provide important solutions to carbon management in order to tackle the global climate crisis and meet the Net-Zero target. Read more
Sustainable synthesis of nanoparticles in microfluidic devices
Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have greatly impacted the world of science and engineering. The last decades we have witnessed revolutionary developments that unlocked numerous applications in fields like medicine, electronics, aerospace, energy storage and automotive. Read more
Numerical modelling and design of geothermal heat recovery from subsurface systems
Research Group:
Multiscale Modelling
Sedimentary basins are ubiquitous, naturally porous and permeable, and the geothermal heat in these basins can be extracted with geologic water or CO. Read more
Hierarchical porous architectures for catalytic cascade reactions
Research group. Catalysis and porous materials. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed, offering greater energy efficiency relative to non-catalytic pathways. Read more
Catalytic materials for biomass valorisation - from single sites to nanoparticles
Research Group. Catalysis and porous materials. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed, offering greater energy efficiency relative to non-catalytic pathways. Read more
Bioproduction of bioplastics with tailored properties
Research Group:
Biochemical and Bioprocess Engineering
This multidisciplinary project aims to develop a novel technology, exploiting the fermentation at different scales and modes (batch/fed-batch/continuous) for the bioproduction of bioplastics with tailored properties. Read more
