About
I'm a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Surrey, developing porous carbon adsorbents from food and bread waste to separate light hydrocarbon gases, ethylene, acetylene, ethane and CO₂. The project (MULTISORBED) runs end to end: synthesis, characterisation, adsorption testing in multi-sorbent beds, and molecular simulation.
My background bridges chemical engineering and materials science. I studied chemical engineering as an undergraduate, then completed a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Newcastle, Australia, working on mesoporous materials for CO₂ capture and conversion designing biomass-derived adsorbents and running high-pressure experiments to evaluate silica based catalyst performance.
I've also worked at Dr Reddy's Institute of Life Sciences on process development in GMP-regulated environments, focused on continuous processing and flow chemistry. My interest sits where materials research meets scalable, sustainable process technology.
