Welcome to the E&PSE research group

Clean air, a society running on renewable energy, clean efficient production, recycling of resources after use, a diverse biosphere protected for the future: these are some of our aims. As a small research group in Africa’s most successful university-based Chemical Engineering department, we contribute to these aims by:

1) Training the next generation of academics, researchers and top end consultants through PhD and MSc research;
2) Generating and publishing new knowledge through critical research and scholarship;
3) Questioning unsustainable practices and supporting sustainable development in the real world, by making our knowledge and research products accessible and adoptable.
