Green ammonia derived membranes & sorbents for direct air capture of carbon dioxide
September 2023 – September 2024
Carbon dioxide (CO2) induced global warming is an existential threat, prompting efforts to reduce net emissions of this greenhouse gas (GHG) to zero. But as CO2 levels are already dangerously high, removal of CO2 remains necessary even once the net-zero target is achieved.

Finite Element Analysis to Assess Fish Mortality from Interactions with Tidal Turbine Blades
February – December 2017
The research project used finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the impact of a tidal turbine blade on fish, and assess whether mortality of marine life can be expected in such an event.
