I am working in the field of environmental catalysis, biomass utilisation and solar energy. Firstly, I did my MSc on the production of biofuel from renewable feed-stocks such as bio-methanol over alumina catalysts. My PhD project had two main themes, the low-temperature total oxidation of methane as applied to after treatment of methane slip and the low-temperature partial oxidation of methane to produce syngas which is further converted to liquid fuels which resulted in > 20 publication in top peer-reviewed journals along with a speaker in 12 conferences all over the world. I have also experience in heterogeneous catalysis in catalyst preparation, characterisation and testing in different reactions such as dehydration, oxidation, reforming, water gas shift, pyrolysis of biomass along with the kinetic modelling of the thermal decomposition reactions. My initial work on recycling the aluminium foil been recognised worldwide (74 magazine and TV channels) and the leading paper was published in Scientific Reports as it is now the top 100 paper in Chemistry in Nature publication group journal. This is reflected in my nomination for Robert V Neher Award along with other public talk activity and acting as a reviewer in eight peer-reviewed journals. My research output recently attracted industry attention gaining £600,000 grant income for the Queen’s University Belfast and £200,000 external fund with Sultan Qaboos University in Oman. Currently working on an EPSRC project on the up-cycling plastic waste stream.
