About Me

I am interested to teaching, mentoring, professional collaboration for innovative project development with industries and departments and contributing to the policy analysis.

My areas of interest in teaching, research and consultancy are:

  • Supply chain management, strategic policy, and value chain analyses for innovative socio-economic applications.
  • Technology development and decision making with design, modelling, optimisation, and experimental validation.
  • Process modelling, design, and analyses (i.e., qualitative and quantitative) for circular economic development.
  • Renewable Fuels: Biorefining, Production, Bio-lubricants, Combustion, Emission, & Performance characterisation.
  • Thermochemical and electrochemical processing: Cleaner fuel production, Kinetics, Catalysis, and Decarbonisation.
  • Waste management, waste to energy production, waste water treatment, pollution control.
  • Energy economics, and life cycle analysis.

General
Background

I have found my PhD study journey as a mixed platform of learning and implementing critically integrated applied engineering skills. Making use of transferable skills on project administration, owning research project work responsibilities as project engineer, learning new technologies, and assess them in the relevant research projects to obtain desired outputs, have bolstered my level of competency. I am confident of adopting anything new and work on it in order to achieve acceptable deliverables.

My current involvement with the Centre for Regional Economics and Supply Chain (CRESC) has helped me to explore and apply my transferrable skills in the multidisciplinary fields, while learning various data analysis, supply chain modeling, and economic theories in different applications.
