About

I received my PhD degree in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from Queen’s University Belfast, UK, in 2018. Currently, Senior Lecturer of Energy Engineering at Canterbury Christ Church University and previously as a Research Fellow at Queen’s University Belfast, focusing on environmental catalysis, biomass utilization, and climate change mitigation.

During my doctoral research, I delved into two main areas. Firstly, I explored the low-temperature total oxidation of methane, primarily applied for methane slip aftertreatment. Secondly, I investigated the low-temperature partial oxidation of methane to produce syngas, which could be further converted into liquid fuels. Presently, my primary research focus is on the development of nanocomposite materials to combat climate change.

One of my notable achievements is the publication of my research in the Scientific Reports Journal, which ranks among the top 100 papers in Chemistry within the Nature publication group journals. I've also had the honor of being nominated for the Robert V Neher Award in Germany and have delivered several influential public talks. In addition to my research, I contribute actively as a reviewer for eight peer-reviewed journals.

I'm proud to say that my research efforts have gained significant industry attention, resulting in research grants totaling £600,000 for Queen’s University Belfast and an additional £400,000 from external funding in collaboration with Sultan Qaboos University in Oman.

At present, I hold the position of Senior Research Fellow at the Bryden Centre at Queen’s University Belfast. I've published over 76 peer-reviewed articles, with four of them appearing in journals with an H-Index of 24.6. I've also contributed more than 14 conference proceedings, including three keynote addresses, which collectively have contributed to my impressive H-Index of 42.

Furthermore, I serve as an esteemed editorial board member for Molecular Catalysis (Elsevier) and Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group). Additionally, I take on the role of Guest Editor for three Special Issues in Catalysts (MDPI), Processes (MDPI), and Environmental Chemical Engineering (Elsevier), as well as Chemosphere (Elsevier).
