Tune into a conversation with Professor Jerry Heng, a leading expert in particle engineering and crystallisation. Discover how engineering at the particle level drives innovation at scale; and explore the challenges, breakthroughs, and future of crystallisation  —  a science at the heart of food, pharma, batteries, and more. 

Professor Martin Trusler unpacks the thermophysical science that drives clean energy solutions. From carbon capture to sustainable liquid fuels and hydrogen as a fuel, we explore the challenges and potential of building a greener future. Stay tuned to discover how his lab is custom-built — not just for precision, but with purpose. 

In this podcast, we welcome the award-winning educator and researcher, Dr. Umang Shah. Umang is the Principal Teaching Fellow in Chemical Engineering, deeply involved in undergraduate teaching, particularly laboratory instruction. Let's hear from Umang on what it takes for a great educator to design impactful lab experiences, foster student engagement, and integrate sustainability into teaching practices. Join us as we explore the challenges and innovations in modern lab education and gain valuable insights from an expert in the field. 

With our new host, Diya Agrawal, engage in a conversation with the Season 1 ChemEng Cast host, Ben Strain. Find out about his academic work at Imperial and what it means to be associated with an industrial partner- from a postgraduate researcher perspective. 

In this episode, we speak to Jason Hallet,  Professor of Sustainable Chemical Technology in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. He tells us all about his work involving the production of lignocellulosic biofuels, sustainable chemical feedstocks, vaccine manufacturing, and waste recycling, as well as discussing his journey to Imperial from the US.

In this episode, we speak to Lucy Barton,  PhD student in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. She tells us all about her work designing experimental and mathematical tools to study carbon capture technologies, as well as discussing her journey to Imperial from the west coast of Australia.

In this episode, we speak to Kostis Flevaris, a PhD student in Computational Biology in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. He tells us all about his work on modelling glycobiology- the biology of sugars- and how he is applying this to predicting and understanding health and disease.

In this episode, we speak to Tanuj Karia,  PhD student in Mathematical Optimisation in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. He tells us all about his work on developing cutting-edge optimisation methods, how he is applying them, and why they are so important.

PhD student Sarat Alabidun discusses the future of battery technology and her work on understanding degradation mechanisms and solid electrolyte interphase(SEI) formation in sodium-ion batteries using mass spectrometry. She explains why we should be interested in her research and how sodium-ion batteries are vital for a more sustainable future.

PhD student Priyanka Kumar shares her research on the application of low-cost ionic liquids to the processing of waste products from the beer industry, to produce biomaterials and value-added products, including proteins. She also talks about her work at Lixea Co. (www.lixea.co), an Imperial start-up company, as an R&D scientist assisting in their process and product development.
