Dr Han Wu (CNIE lab manager) and Dr Nidhi Kapil (CNIE PDRA) were interviewed by Shimadzu to discuss how GC is used for various research projects at UCL Centre for Nature-Inspired Engineering (CNIE) and within UCL Chemical Engineering Department.
The main aim of Nidhi's research work is to design a stable yet selective catalyst to produce propylene oxide from propylene via a greener and simple route. The project takes a multiscale approach, integrating nano- (active site), meso- (porous catalyst architecture) and macroscale (reactor) efforts, to address the challenge of producing a better propylene oxidation catalyst.
The interview highlighted the close collaboration between CNIE and instrument manufacturers to support research activities in the department.
