SUMMARY OF RESEARCH AND TEACHING INTERESTS

Research Interest

• To carry out research in the areas of process improvements in shale oil/tight oil and gas. To investigate and provide solutions on the impacts of water resources in shale oil and gas development.
• To develop and demonstrate innovative technological improvements for the capture and subsequent use of CO2 from coal and gas-fired flue gas from power plants and other sources to substantially reduce the greenhouse gas effects and environmental pollution.
• To develop energy efficient processes across chemical and petroleum industries. The applications of heat integrated reactive distillation and other separation techniques to achieve significant energy and cost savings will be developed including the separation of close boiling olefins and paraffin. Energy recovery from waste heat will be investigated.
• To actively carryout research for the application of fundamental thermodynamic principles and kinetics to advanced oxidation processes (sonochemistry, etc) for reduction of pollutants like NOx, SO2, VOC, and Hg.
• To use computer aided softwares like ASPEN , HYSIS and ICAS in process and product development and in modeling the underlying principles and behavior of new routes to products of interest . (ICAS is Integrated Computer Aided Software developed by Prof. Rafiqul Gani of Technical University of Denmark whom I have collaborated with for many years.)
• To build on my collaborative research activities with other faculty members in my university and other universities, government sponsored research entities (NSF, DOE, etc) for effective research in different areas and to form and/or participate in research center(s) as appropriate.
• To encourage my undergraduate students to do research with me and interest them in STEM education especially with the goal to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities in science and engineering fields.

Teaching Interest

My extensive industrial experience prepares me to teach several courses in the chemical, biochemical, and environmental engineering programs in both undergraduate and graduate level courses. In particular, my industrial experience prepares me to teach senior capstone design course using examples from my industrial background for the senior projects which I have supervised senior projects from 2012 to present at PVAMU. I would like to develop new undergraduate and graduate courses in alternative and clean energy, process safety, engineering project management, innovation in oil and gas exploration and emergent technologies. I will demonstrate and show genuine interest to help my students in doing their best in their courses, encourage them to participate in class discussion and have open door policy on office hours for my students and complement with virtual office hours using SKYPE and others. Use the course assessment results to improve my teaching skills and use of innovative technologies when available with practical industrial examples to aid students in better understanding of the courses that I teach. Using computer aided software like ASPEN, HYSIS and ICAS to complement teaching aids. Provide my students with useful and reliable references on links on YOUTUBE on relevant technology and courses. I would also like to collaborate with the faculty in the internationally recognized Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center of TAMU to teach process safety to both undergraduate and graduate students.
