I am a member of the and my research focus on heterogeneous catalysis and reaction engineering. My main interest is gaining a fundamental understanding of the synthesis processes for catalytic materials and how to translate that into optimal catalyst activity and more efficient catalyst manufacturing processes. As application and case study areas, I work on:

1) Catalytic upgrade of biomass into biorenewable chemicals and fuels;

2) Carbon dioxide conversion into materials and fuels;

3) Intensified synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts;

4) Integrated design of catalyst and reactors in intensified processes;

5) Photocatalysis.

Previously, I did build up an extensive background in industrial catalysis. I have worked at Johnson Matthey as a Senior Research Scientist and Process Development Engineer. During that time I investigated catalyst manufacturing processes and I helped to develop a new generation of manufacturing methods. I also developed and designed Platinum Group Metal catalysts for several chemical, petrochemical and biorenewable applications.

During my PhD at the University of Cambridge, I developed Magnetic Resonance techniques for non-invasive tomography imaging and spectroscopic measurements of chemical composition and temperature in catalytic reactors. These techniques were then employed in operando studies to investigate interactions between hydrodynamics, heat and mass transport, and chemical reactions at industrially relevant hydrodynamic conditions of operation. Hot-stops formation was investigated and, for the first time, liquid-solid mass transfer coefficients were measured by direct quantification of the intra- and inter-particle liquid composition.

I am also engaged in Pedagogical Research, with a special interest in assessment, feedback, and technology enhanced learning.
