Academic Biography
Dr. Humbul Suleman joined Teesside University as a lecturer in chemical engineering in March 2020. Previously, he was involved in teaching and research for 11 years, working at various universities across Pakistan, Malaysia, Denmark and Switzerland. He has completed two post-doctoral trainings from Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) as a PI on a MSCA/Horizon 2020 project and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (Malaysia) as a key researcher on YUTP project. Before that, he had his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (Malaysia) in 2016, and MSc and BSc in Chemical Engineering from NFC Institute of Engineering and Fertilizer Research Faisalabad (Pakistan) in 2012 and 2008, respectively. He stood first in his masters and bachelors education, and won the prominent publication award for his PhD research.
Humbul aspires to help industrial and business sector in achieving their decarbonisation goals by developing cutting-edge research solutions in the field of carbon capture and utilization for downstream processing, waste gas valorization and carbon-neutral fuels. He is currently working to develop a new class of bio-materials that can absorb carbon dioxide from air at room conditions, analogous to water absorbing hygroscopic materials.
Earlier, he has worked on industrial and research projects related to experimental and modelling studies of industrial carbon capture by chemical absorption. His research was funded across the timeline by MSCA/ Horizon 2020, Yayasan UTP, PETRONAS Research, UTP STIRF, Royal Danish Academy and P.A. Fiskers Fund.
Humbul’s research has emanated in 36 peer-reviewed publications in well-known journals, like, Journal of CO2 Utilization, Fluid Phase Equilibria, Journal of Molecular Liquids, and Chemical Engineering Research and Design. Moreover, he has presented his research outcomes at more than 15 scientific and business conferences, garnering many professional and academic accolades.
He has been teaching chemical engineering subjects to the students of BEng and MEng at the Teesside, which includes “Mass and Energy Balances” and “Sustainability in Chemical Engineering”.
Summary of Research Interests
- Carbon capture from atmosphere, natural gas, bio-fuels and waste gas streams
- Carbon dioxide utilization for carbon-neutral fuels (air acquired hydrogen, methane and methanol)
- Process intensification, modelling and miniaturization of gas absorption/treatment systems
- Blue-sky research in new absorbents for industrial gas separation
