Prof. Dr. Azmi Mohd Shariff is the Director of the Institute of Contaminant Management (ICM) at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). He was conferred a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom. He was with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 1989 as a tutor and was appointed as a lecturer in 1996 upon his return from the University of Leeds. He joined UTP in 1997. He was the Head of the Industrial Internship in 1998, Head of the Chemical Engineering Department from 1999 until 2003, and Director of CO2 Management MOR from 2011 until 2013. His current research works are in the area of process safety and CO2-NG separation. In the area of process safety, his research works are in the area of quantitative risk assessment (QRA), process safety management (PSM), human factor (HF), and inherent safety (IS). The ultimate goal of the research is to prevent or minimize major accidents due to fire, explosion, and toxic releases in process plants that cause high fatalities, damage assets, pollute the environment, and tarnish the company and country's reputation. In CO2-NG separation, his research works are in the area of CO2 capture technology, specifically on absorption, adsorption, and membranes. The research focus is on CO2 capture technology development for high-pressure and high-CO2-content natural gas.
