Research Interest

My research focuses on
  • Determination of optimal processing pathway from a complex network of processing intervals using computer aided tools known as the superstructure optimization
  • Process analysis of value-added chemicals productions, e.g. diethyl ether, acetaldehyde, butadiene, etc., From bioethanol feedstock, using a process simulator to evaluate the process performances in terms of economic, energy utilization and environmental impacts

Expertise

Highlights

Superstructure optimization of biorefinery integrated system specifically for palm empty fruit bunch and algae
Techno-economic analysis of value-added chemicals productions
