Research Summary
His expertise is on chemical and catalytic reaction engineering, and over the last ten years he has specialised in the area of flow microreaction technology. His group has worked on the design, development and evaluation of high temperature gas phase and low temperature multiphase microstructured reactors, using in addition to experimental approaches various modelling tools, such as CFD simulations. The reactors have been used to perform various types of reactions including catalytic oxidations, hydrogenations, epoxidations, ozonolysis etc. Some highlights of the group’s research are: studies on design and fabrication of zeolite-based microstructured reactors for liquid phase reactions, studies on catalytic falling film microstructured reactors for hydrogenation reactions; demonstration of microfabricated reactors for in situ Raman and EXAFS measurements during gas phase catalysis. He has been successful in obtaining a number of EPSRC, EU and industrial grants in the areas of novel reactor design, intensified and flow microengineered reactors, and has collaborated extensively with various researchers from the UK and overseas.
