From scientific understanding to industrial problem-solving and scale-up
I connect applied physical chemistry, modelling and experimental validation with practical process development to investigate technical challenges, identify bottlenecks, improve performance and support technology implementation—from laboratory and pilot work to industrial scale-up.
Current professional phase
Independent scientific engineering through SCIENTAVIA, alongside wider professional pathways
Since 1 October 2026, selected independent scientific, engineering, R&D and technology-development activities are carried out through SCIENTAVIA. This work runs alongside active engagement with suitable employment, institutional research, scientific and industrial collaboration, and other technically justified professional opportunities.
Selected independent scientific and engineering work
SCIENTAVIA provides a controlled platform for selected open technical resources, modelling and validation work, R&D support, technology-development collaboration and defined consulting activities. Employment, institutional research and industrial collaboration remain separate active professional pathways.
Pyrolysis Modelling Framework v0.2.0
Published on 6 October 2026, the framework supports evidence-aware model selection and controlled pyrolysis analysis across lignocellulosic biomass, manure, polymers, biomass–plastic mixtures, sewage sludge and food waste. Model applicability and validation strength remain explicit and domain-specific.
Integrated capability
Scientific depth for process improvement and technology development
The work combines fundamental understanding, fit-for-purpose modelling, experimental evidence and engineering interpretation to diagnose process limitations, assess improvement options and guide development decisions. Methods are selected according to the question, uncertainty, available evidence and required scale; computational agreement is not treated as physical validation.
Reactive Systems & Chemical Kinetics
Oxidation, ignition, combustion, emissions, detailed mechanisms, sensitivity, reaction networks, mechanism reduction and nanoparticle inception.
Reactor, CFD & Multiscale Modelling
Zero- to three-dimensional models, reactive-flow CFD, heat and mass transfer, species transport and experiment–model comparison.
Thermochemical & Sustainable Processes
Pyrolysis, gasification, reforming, syngas, biomass, biochar, fuels, oils, wastewater treatment and circular process pathways.
Verification, Validation, Pilot Development & Scale-Up
Technical feasibility, evidence assessment, model verification, experimental design, validation planning, pilot configuration, operability, process risk and industrial implementation decisions.
Evidence-backed professional work
Applied R&D, process development and technical leadership
Selected professional cases translate documented responsibilities into concise engineering context, contribution and decision value. Confidential source documents, customer data, proprietary designs and unverified performance claims remain excluded.
Evidence distinction: employment references verify professional responsibilities, while peer-reviewed publications support defined scientific methods and results. Repository tests and computational agreement support implementation or model assessment but do not by themselves establish physical validation. No evidence type is used to imply broader performance than its documented scope.
High-Pressure Combustion Diagnostics & Multiscale Modelling
Experimental and numerical work examining soot formation, particle development, burner-flow effects and boundary conditions in optically accessible elevated-pressure flames.
The case demonstrates integration of optical diagnostics, zero- to three-dimensional modelling, transport analysis and experiment–model interpretation.
Automotive Burner Test-Rig Integration & Development
Practical development work connecting test-rig installation, fuel, ignition and air systems, instrumentation, control, experimental execution, data analysis and technical reporting.
The case demonstrates controlled experimental development and emissions-oriented design feedback without disclosing customer or proprietary technical data.
Biomass Pyrolysis Process & Plant-Concept Engineering
Professional process-development work linking plant trials, process calculations, technical documentation, process descriptions, plant concepts and specification support.
The case demonstrates how experimental learning can be translated into structured engineering requirements and further development decisions. It is separate from later independent pyrolysis-modelling framework development.
International Industrial Customer-Project Leadership
Planning and control of customer projects involving internal departments, external partners, suppliers, technical and commercial coordination, schedules, budgets and management reporting.
The case demonstrates multidisciplinary project alignment and practical problem solving without publishing customer, contractual or proprietary project information.
Professional roles & technical collaboration
Scientific and engineering experience for demanding R&D and technology-development roles
I am open to selected permanent or contract senior positions, project-based R&D collaboration, visiting-scientist and expert roles, and technology-development partnerships. I contribute where scientific understanding, technical troubleshooting, modelling, validation and process optimization must lead to practical development or industrial implementation.
Relevant roles include R&D and technology-development leadership, specialist scientific and process engineering, technical project leadership, and multidisciplinary industrial or institutional collaboration. Independent consulting is considered for clearly defined technical needs.
