Work Experience
- Cryogenic Air Separation
- Adsorption processes for air purification and treatment of syngas
At Air Products Dr Pollock performed process simulations of cryogenic air separation plants producing designs that optimised production and power subject to design constraints for different operating modes. She worked within R&D, challenging design parameters of adsorption processes for air purification through the development and analysis experiments and evaluated adsorption processes for syngas treatment
Research interests
- Molecular equations of state applied to strongly associating systems
- Adsorption processes
- Innovative mitigation technologies to tackle climate change
Teaching interests
Dr Pollock is currently involved in the development of the curriculum for the Chemical Engineering Plant Design I module. She is keen to incorporate knowledge gained from industrial experience in process engineering design and R&D roles to deliver an exciting and engaging course that will prepare future engineers for a variety of roles in industry and business.
