Gomes, Rachel L - University of Nottingham - Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering

个人简介

Rachel is an Assistant Professor in Chemical and Environmental Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering. Her research interests lie in adaptive bioprocessing towards water engineering and manufacture within the chemical context, facilitated by novel analytics. This requires understanding system complexity to evaluate and develop efficient processes to ensure resource security and resilience. Rachel graduated from Imperial College London in 2007 with a PhD award funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). She was the Scientific Project Manager for an €11M EU-funded research project encompassing 14 countries and 22 partners, before returning to Imperial where Rachel received the Wellcome Trust Value in People Award and was one of the '100 women, 100 visions' celebrating women scientists and engineers at Imperial. In 2009, Rachel obtained an Anne McLaren Fellowship to continue her research and in late 2011 became a Lecturer within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham. In 2013 Rachel was selected as an University Engineering Future Research Leader, and in 2014 became 1 of 20 on the EPSRC Early Career Forum in Manufacturing Research, Trustee for the Papplewick Water Education Trust and Management Board Member on the BBSRC High Value Chemicals from Plants Network. 2014 also saw the Analytical Scientist magazine publish its Power List featuring 40 individuals under the age of 40 who are already having a big impact on the field of analytical science. Rachel was listed in recognition of developing novel analytics to inform on wastewater treatment and chemical manufacture. In particular, developing methods that enabled evaluation of process plant efficiency for bioactive chemical removal during municipal wastewater treatment.
