Experienced Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) skilled in nanomaterials, catalysis, biofuels, reaction kinetics, process optimization, feasibility studies, and material characterization (N2-sorption, FTIR, XRD, SEM, ICP, Hg-porosimetry, TGA and TPD). My current research is concerned with the development, synthesis, characterization and catalytic testing of heterogeneous catalysts, mainly metal catalyst, CaO and hydrotalcite-based catalysts for transesterification reaction, Ni-based catalysts for edible oil esterification and research catalyst carriers from natural (zeolite) or waste sources (fly ash) (both in batch and continuous reaction conditions).
