Biography

Gabriela Duran-Jimenez is a member of the Advanced Materials Research Group (AMRG).

Expertise Summary

I work on the design, synthesis and application of sustainable materials using microwave technology. My research area includes the process intensification, reutilisation and valorisation of biomass wastes and microwave processing for a range of applications such as wastewater treatment, CO2 capture and energy storage.

I welcome enquiries from potential PGR applications in those relevant topics

Research Summary

Biomass reutilisation, CO2 capture and conversion, Porous Materials, Microwave processing, Adsorption, Catalysis, Pyrolysis, Carbon, Electrochemistry, Surface Chemistry
