As a Research Associate at UNSW, my research focuses on the techno-economic modelling and commercialisation road-mapping of power-to-X technologies for decarbonisation. This includes the following streams:

Synthetic Chemicals and Fuels: Technoeconomic, life cycle impact and social acceptance modelling of biomass and renewable electrolysis-based chemicals and fuels, including low carbon fuels – methanol, synthetic natural gas, renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and H₂/carriers – ammonia and liquid organic hydrogen carriers.

Green Commodities and Exports: Downstream integration of renewable electrification, green H₂ carriers and low carbon fuel to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors such as natural gas/industrial heating, critical minerals, energy exports – renewables embedded into green H₂ carriers and low carbon fuels and shipping/aviation sectors.

The work builds on the foundations of my PhD in Chemical Engineering at UNSW, where I have built foundational modelling and costing tools/frameworks to simulate and scale up value chain designs and emerging market models. Since I am carrying this research forward by expanded both functionality and application of these frameworks in light of the emerging and evolving decarbonisation challenge, this includes leading/co-contributing to ongoing research and flagship industry/government projects on behalf of UNSW, through my affiliation with the ARC Training Centre for Global H₂ Economy/the Particles and Catalysis Research Group via the School of Chemical Engineering and the School of Minerals and Energy Resource Engineering.
