A. Personal Statement

I am a researcher focusing on catalytic processes, biodegradation, drilling mud formulation and environmental impacts of energy production. I have expertise in modelling and simulation techniques applied to chemical processes. I am presently working on process design of hydrogen production processes and carbon capture for both point sources (Cement and Steel industries) and direct capture together with their life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis. I believe in sustainability as it is crucial for preserving resources, addressing climate change and ensuring a healthy planet for future generations.
