My scientific focus is the thermodynamics and hydrodynamics of CO2 capture and conversion processes. Carbon capture will form a vital part of our route to net-zero greenhouse gas emmissions. The hydrodynamics, mass transfer, heat transfer, and chemical phenomena which lie at the heart of carbon capture and conversion processes are often ill-understood due to their complex and coupled nature. I use numerical models and detailed experiments to understand these fundamentals, and apply this knowledge to develop, scale up and improve carbon capture processes.
