He leads the Clean Energy Processes (CEP) Laboratory, comprising ~30 PDRAs and PhD students, coordinates the Experimental Multiphase Flow (EMF) Laboratory, which is the largest such experimental space at Imperial College London, leads the cross-departmental ‘Energy & Environmental Engineering’ research theme and the multi-disciplinary cross-faculty ‘Energy Infrastructure’ Energy Futures Lab network. He is also, amongst other, Editor-in-Chief of Applied Thermal Engineering, and has extensive industrial and commercialization experience, most recently as Co-Founder and Director of spin-out company Solar Flow. He specializes in applied thermodynamics, fluid flow and heat/mass transfer processes as applied to high-performance devices, technologies and systems for thermal-energy recovery, utilization, conversion or storage. His research interests include heating, cooling and power, and in particular, solar energy and heat recovery and conversion in diverse applications. He has published >250 journal papers and >300 conference papers on these topics, and secured a research income in excess of ~£20M over the last 5 years, e.g.: PI on £1.6M EPSRC grant on reducing industrial-energy use (EP/P004709); £1.1M EPSRC grant on high-efficiency solar PV/T systems (EP/M025012); £7M EPSRC programme grant on low-carbon energy systems (EP/R045518). He won Applied Energy’s ‘Most highly cited original paper’ award twice (2017&18), IChemE’s Global ‘Best Research Project’ award (2018), IMechE’s Donald Julius Groen outstanding paper prize (2016), ICL’s President’s Award for Research Excellence (2017), and recently the Engineers without Boarders ‘Chill Challenge’ (2020). His expertise in system design and analysis will provide guidance for overall system design and performance evaluation.
