• MEMPHIS Multiphase (www.memphis-multiphase.org), 2013 - 2016

I carried out Postdoctoral research in a collaborative project between Imperial College London (ICL), University College London (UCL) and Nottingham University, where I investigated the effect of surfactants on liquid deformations during coalescence and breakage, enabling industries like Shell, BP and Procter & Gamble making more informed on-site decisions.

Synergy and integration between the partners in terms of theory, computation, and experimental work, enabled the examination of the individual small length-scale phenomena in isolation (e.g. drop coalescence, bubble or drop detachment) that determines the global multiphase flow characteristics.

• NANOHEX (www.nanohex.org), 2012 - 2013

I was a part of a world’s largest collaborative project for the research and development of nanofluid coolants. This EU project comprised of 12 leading European companies (e.g. Siemens) and research centres (e.g. KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) to develop cooling system for a range of industrial applications.

• Research Fellow in School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham (2012)
  

I worked on the developmnet of the delivery systems and wrote a chapter on Hydrocolloid Formulations Engineered for Properties in the GI Tract

• PhD in School of Chemcial Engineering (2013), University of Birmingham for Johnson & Matthey
  

I have been investigating the fundamentals of gas-liquid-solid interactions to enable understanding and control of mass transfer limitations in multiphase system; the interactions were predicted with novel way purely based on interfacial energies where the energies of porous catalyst particles were obtained with Inverse Gas Chromatography.

Thesis title: "Bubbles – catalysts – oil interactions at elevated temperature and pressure in Fischer Tropsch synthesis"
