Overview

The event is the kick-off for the relaunch of the Southampton and Portsmouth local member group. It will be focused on local initiatives regarding sustainability and decarbonisation, including developments around the Solent Cluster, but it will also present the aims and objectives of the renewed local member group and the recent establishment of a chemical engineering course at the University of Southampton.

The event will be hosted at the Highfield campus at University of Southampton and includes a networking reception for chemical engineering professionals and students.

Speaker

Lindsay-Marie Armstrong, Professor, University of Southampton

Lindsay-Marie is a Professor Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton. She has a BSc (Hons) Mathematics degree and MSc in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and in 2012 she completed her PhD which developed reactive multiphase models for thermochemical conversion processes within coal and biomass fluidised beds. She established and chaired the Clean Carbon USRG which is a network of over 150+ academic and industrial partners and is the Academic Lead for the Solent Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster. She is also a deputy director for the University of Southampton's Sustainability and Resilience Institute.

She develops computational tools for accelerating scale-up of reactive technologies and has extensive knowledge of reactive multiphase modelling, particularly for carbon capture and utilisation technologies. She publishes in leading journals, including Chemical Engineering Journal, International journal of heat and mass transfer, International Journal of Multiphase Flow; Frontiers in Chemistry GCB Bioenergy; in addition to leading international conferences.
