University of Surrey is an education management institution that provides education and research.

Professor at the University of Surrey, CEng (Chartered Engineer), CSci (Chartered Scientist), FIChemE (Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers) and Doctorate in Chemical Engineering, I lead inter/transdisciplinary biorefinery, bioeconomy and life cycle assessment (LCA) (ISO14040-44) research to tackle complex global grand challenges, net zero and circular economy. I serve the Editorial Board of the following journals: Nature Sci Rep (Nature), Bioresource Technology (BITE), BITE Reports, Food & Bioproducts Processing, and South African Journal of Chemical Engineering (Elsevier); Clean Technologies & Environmental Policy (Springer); Energies, and Processes (MDPI). My team has created Software: TESARREC™ UK00003321198 to design renewable, waste and greenhouse gas capture and sequestration strategies and provide their standard technical, economic, environmental and social life cycle performances for regulators and designers. I have authored 156 high impact peer-reviewed publications including an advanced text and two edited journal special issues. My Wiley’s Advanced Text “Biorefineries & Chemical Processes: Design, Integration and Sustainability Analysis” is the only authored textbook. Known as Green Bible, this intensive textbook is internationally acknowledged in graduate programs. I have supervised 20 PhDs and 20 Post-doctorates who completed their research. I have been an External Examiner of the Masters Sustainable Chemical Engineering Courses at the Universities of Newcastle and Bath. I serve the BBSRC Strategy Advisory Panel: Bioscience for Renewable Resources and Clean Growth. I am full member of the EPSRC peer-review college. I serve on the IChemE Publications Medals Board. Before joining the board by invitation, I have received the IChemE Moulton (2011) and Hanson (2006) Medals. I work as LCA Consultant for companies.
