Hi All, I am currently working as a researcher at EPRI Europe DAC supporting advancements in low-carbon energy systems, and focussing on prospects of hydrogen as a future zero carbon fuel. After 10 years of training myself in Chemical Engineering concepts and principles in top universities across the world I am grateful to apply my passion for a zero-carbon future to increasing knowledge to drive growth in electrolysis, and end use applications of low/zero carbon energy carbons.

My research has been driven by my love for creating and executing high level ideas. My master thesis focussed on investigating the "Factors affecting the overall performance of a small-scale microwave plasma gasifier converting biomass to syngas", which was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. This research was also applied to the "re-invent the toilet".

Now I am excited and keen to apply my knowledge and 7 years of experience in academic research towards dissemination and co-ordinating research activities.
