I am a Senior Lecturer and Director of Research in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Monash University and a BioPRIA researcher specialising in heterogeneous catalysis, green chemistry and reaction engineering. I combine catalyst design, biomass fractionation, process optimisation and structured reactors to convert renewable feedstocks and industrial waste into valuable chemicals, fuels and materials. I help industry address feedstock variability, poor selectivity, catalyst durability, energy-intensive processing, scale-up challenges and underused side streams. Working across chemistry, materials and process engineering, I develop practical pathways from laboratory validation to pilot trials, supported by process integration, techno-economic analysis and sustainability assessment.
