Personal profile
Overview
I am a chartered chemical engineer leading the chemical engineering degree programmes at the Paisley campus with some research history as well as extensive teaching experience.
Area of academic expertise - outline
My original sphere of reserch was heat transfer and the fouling of heat exchangers. More recent work has been the mass balance across composting and biomass processes.
Current research activities
Involved in the process development of microalgae cultivation for biofuels.
Desired research direction
Currently seeking supervisory work in heat transfer and biomass projects.
