Interests:

Process & systems engineering focussed on integration of renewable electrical energy into chemical production processes and semi-islanded networks.

Biography:

Richard is a Fixed-Term Lecturer of Chemical and Systems Engineering at the University of Oxford and a Tutor in Engineering Science at New College. His research interests are beyond-battery electrical energy storage and the integration of renewable electrical energy into chemical production processes and semi-islanded networks. In the last 5 years he has focussed on modelling green ammonia production during which time he has collaborated with Siemens and IIT Delhi, organised two workshops in India, and consulted for the International Energy Agency (IEA). In between studies for an MEng and DPhil (both at the University of Oxford) he worked for Roland Berger. Two recent publications that may be of interest (do email him if you need a copy) have considered the optimisation of islanded green ammonia production (https://doi.org/10.1039/D0EE01707H) and its use for electrical power (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2020.116009).
