Final-year PhD researcher in green hydrogen generation plant optimisation and minimising the LCOH.
The green hydrogen industry provides an inclusive environment for professional women, empowering them to overcome societal and cultural barriers in fields where gender disparity still exists. This inclusive movement can be especially impactful for women facing restrictions in their home countries, offering them the opportunity to contribute to an emerging, crucial industry and develop their skills for the future. Encouraging women's involvement in green hydrogen promotes equity. It helps shape a sustainable, innovative path forward in the global energy transition, ultimately positioning women as key contributors to a cleaner, greener world.
I’m a final-year PhD student at Abertay University, specializing in optimizing green hydrogen generation plants in Scotland. My research focuses on reducing both the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) using advanced software integrated with NASA’s databases. Leveraging real-world data, I have achieved promising results, which I believe could significantly benefit energy companies striving for Net Zero emissions targets.
Before my PhD, I gained over 14 years of experience as a design engineer and researcher in the oil and gas industry, where I participated in various EPC projects. My past research includes developing solutions for flare gas recovery in Iran, aimed at reducing pollution in refineries and petrochemical plants. This unique blend of experience and applied research enables me to contribute practical, impactful solutions to the renewable energy sector.
