Qualifications

• Ph.D. 1992-1996, Fuel & Energy, the University of Leeds, Leeds, U.K
  Title of Thesis: A Shock Tube Study of Pyrolysis of Model Fuel Oil Compounds
  Fuel Combustion and energy engineering remained my PhD work at the University of Leeds. The kinetics of decomposition of chemically bound sulphur and nitrogen compounds has been investigated. Detailed understandings of all processes taking place during fuel combustion were gained by undertaking computer modelling using computer code CHEMKIN-II
   
• Post Doctoral Research Fellowship
  2002-2003 Visiting Research Fellow SPEME, the University of Leeds, Leeds, U.K
  Research: Modelling Heavy Metal Emissions from Waste Incineration
  Metal emission is a major environmental problem throughout world. The process of modelling such combustion systems is a very complex procedure requiring high level of expertise. A novel incineration bed model entitled Fluid dynamic incinerator code, FLIC in a bed of waste was used. In addition, a MASS TRANSFER and EQUILIBRIUM MODEL were also used to investigate in particular the emission of heavy metal from incineration of waste.
