Research experience in biofuels production and their upgrading, specifically in direct liquefaction and gasification of microalgae and upgrading of crude bio-oils derived from microalgae in high temperature water. Previous experience includes “Hydrolysis reaction of nitriles and amide in near-critical water: reaction pathway, mechanisms and kinetics”, “Hydrothermal liquefaction and gasification of microalgae Nannochloropsis sp.”, “Hydrothermal liquefaction of a microalga with heterogeneous catalysts”, “Upgrading of crude algal bio-oil in supercritical water”, “Catalytic treatment of algal crude bio-oil to in supercritical water: Optimization studies” and “Hydrodenitrogenation of nitrogen-containing model compounds in supercritical water.”
