My published work spans an unusually wide arc: from the deep-earth geophysics and reservoir thermodynamics of my doctoral training, through the thermochemical conversion and energy-systems analysis of my venture years, into applied AI — and now toward carbon materials for energy storage. What unifies it is a consistent method: computational modelling coupled tightly to experimental validation, applied to complex, heterogeneous physical systems.

Thermochemical conversion of biomass and residues
The scientific heart of the venture years: pyrolysis and gasification kinetics, feedstock characterisation, and the conversion of heterogeneous residues into fuels and carbon. Published in Chemosphere and presented across EU-funded energy-transition projects.
Techno-economic and environmental analysis of energy systems
A substantial, highly-cited body of work on renewable cooling, off-grid cold production, and multi-generation systems — combining process design with techno-economic and lifecycle assessment. This is the most-cited cluster, in Energy, Journal of Cleaner Production, Solar Energy, and Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments.
Thermodynamic and geochemical modelling of fluid–rock systems
My doctoral lineage: thermodynamic and geochemical modelling of multiphase fluid systems in porous media, ionic interactions and wettability, and deep-earth mineral physics — with experimental validation by core flooding and analytical chemistry. Published in the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering and the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.
Applied artificial intelligence
The most recent published-and-patented track: neural translation with domain adaptation, hallucination mitigation, generative architectures, and agile-development methodology — bridging computational training and enterprise-scale deployment.
Current direction: hard carbon for sodium-ion batteries
The same core skill — turning biomass residue into high-value structured carbon — aimed at one of the decade’s most strategically urgent materials problems. See BioNa for the full technical narrative.
