BIO
Biography
2001-date: Professor of Thermophysics, Chemical Engineering Department, Imperial College London
1995-2001: Senior Lecturer, Chemical Engineering Department, Imperial College London
1988-1995: Lecturer, Chemical Engineering Department, Imperial College London
1985-1987: Ramsay Memorial Fellow, Chemistry Department, University College London
1984-1985: Lindemann Trust Fellow, National Institute of Standards & Technology, USA
1980-1984: PhD in Physical Chemistry, University College London, Thesis title: “The speed of sound in gases”
1977-1980: BSc with 1st class honours in Chemistry, University College London
Research Interests
My research is aimed at improved fundamental understanding of the thermophysical properties of fluids, especially mixtures, by means of measurement, modelling and theory. A special focus is placed upon systems relevant to carbon dioxide capture, transportation and storage and hydrogen production, transportation and storage processes. Current studies include:
Phase behaviour and physical properties of complex mixtures containing carbon dioxide
Physical properties of hydrogen and hydrogen-rich mixtures
Thermophysical properties of alternative sustainable liquid fuels
Interfacial tension and wettability of reservoir minerals;
Physical properties of blended aqueous amine/amino acid solvents for CO2 capture.
