About
Dr Nabavi is Readrer in Energy Systems and Head of Centre for Energy Decarbonisaion and Recovery (CEDAR). He is the Director of Advanced Chemical Engineering Course. He received his PhD in Energy from Cranfield University, and obtained his MSc in Thermal Power and Fluid Engineering from The University of Manchester. He then continued working as a Research Fellow on low-carbon energy systems until his appointment as Lecturer in 2018. His research combines experimental and computational approaches to develop innovative solutions to advance low-carbon energy systems. A major focus of his research is to apply fundamentals of thermofluid, multiphase flow, and reactive transport processes to (1) carbon capture utilisation and storage, including synthesis, characterisation, and bench-to-pilot scale testing of carbon capture materials for industrial carbon dioxide removal, biogas upgrading to biomethane, hydrogen purification, direct air capture, and sustainable fuel production; (2) Microfluidic and lab-on-chip, including particle formulation and production, and sorption analysis; (3) process intensification for energy efficiency, including the integration of fuel cells in carbon-intensive processes, active intensification of gas-solid processes, and heat transfer enhancement; and (4) reversible solid oxide fuel cell and fuel flexibility for energy storage and transport.
