Bio
Fatih Gulec is a postdoctoral Research Fellow in CO2 adsorption processes in Energy and Power Engineering at Cranfield University. Gulec has received a BSc degree (1st class) in Chemical Engineering from Gazi University (Turkey, 2012) and an MSc degree (Distinction) in Chemical Engineering from Ankara University (Turkey, 2015) where he worked as a research assistant on the development of zeolite-based heterogeneous catalysis for the methylation and isomerisation reactions. He then started a PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Nottingham (UK) and developed a novel process on the applicability of Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) to Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Unit as a CO2 capture technology. Further, he has discovered a new phenomenon with respect to CLC in that hydrocarbons can combust at relatively low temperatures.
His research interest includes CO2 capture technologies, chemical looping combustion, heterogeneous catalysis & reactions, synthesis & characterisation of porous materials, low-carbon technologies including biomass and biofuels, CO2 hydrogenation, waste-to-energy.
