Personal statement
I joined Strathclyde University, Department of Chemical & Process Engineering in 2020, I am currently chair of the Laboratories Operations Committee and acted as Director of Research from 2021 to 2023. My area of research is in the broader area of Environmental Chemical Engineering, I have published 2 books with Elsevier and more than 135 Journal papers (h-index = 47, > 7000 citations ). I have been PI/Co-PI in 16 research projects with a total budget of >拢3M and participated in 44 other research and consultancy projects. My experience as consultant engineer is rich and in international level, including two appointments as Pre-Accession Advisor, coordinating the candidate countries' alignment with the EU environmental legislation (2004-2007). I have been project proposals evaluator for the European Commission, EPSRC (UK), UEFISCDI (Romania), RSF (Russia), NCST (Kazakhstan) and HFRI (Greece).
At the Chemical Engineering Department of Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan (2013-2020) I founded the Environmental Science & Technology Group,听The Environment and Recourse Efficiency Cluster and served as Scientific Supervisor of the Analytical Chemistry Core Facility and Chair of the Biosafety & Chemical Safety Committee of the University. I led the development of 19 teaching and research labs and in 2016 I received an award from the Ministry of Education of Kazakhstan for distinguished contribution to the country鈥檚 education system. I also led the development of the Unit of Environmental Science and Technology research lab, Chemical Engineering Department, National Technical University of Athens (2002-2003).

- The project aThe instrument is a Benchtop X-Ray Diffractometer, which is a device that can analyse the structure and composition of various materials. It can provide data on crystal and molecular structure, phase identification and quantification, and crystallite size and strain. It is suitable for a wide range of inorganic and organic materials in different forms, such as powders, films, or solids. The instrument is compact, fast, easy to use, and low-cost, making it ideal for routine and high-throughput analysis. It can support research in many fields, such as materials science, engineering, chemistry, energy, and healthcare.
The instrument was acquired through an EPSRC Core Equipment fund, with an internally allocated 拢64k from the 糖心视频 - 01-Jan-2023
