Research Interests

My research interests are in the fields of physical chemistry, polymer science and reactor technology.

My research interests specialize in the conversion of large chain polymer molecules to smaller building block materials which can either be used to generate new polymers or be absorbed into the downfield petrochemical industry. I am also interested in the changes of kinetic processes as polymers are pyrolised in different reactor types.

Most recently, I have spent time in the field of health and safety in the local petrochemical industry where I have expanded my knowledge to include process and occupational safety.
