sequestration (long-term storage) of carbon dioxide. In addition, he is
Director of Engineering of Carbon8 Systems Ltd.,
a multi-award winning company that is commercialising a revolutionary
technique for treating waste streams using carbon dioxide, known as
accelerated carbonation technology.
Professor Simons is also Head of the Colloid & Surface Engineering (CSEG) Group, focusing on particulate interactions at the nano and micro length scales. Prof. Simons is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the IChemE, is Chair of the IChemE Particle Technology Subject Group and sits on the IChemE Accreditation Committee. Since 1994 he has been working with universities in Kazakhstan and, more recently, in Russia, developing modern chemical engineering degree curricula.
