García, Susana - Heriot-Watt University - Department of Chemical Engineering

个人简介

Dr. Susana García received her MEng in Chemical Engineering from the University of Oviedo (Spain) in 2004, and then her PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham (UK) in 2010. Her PhD research focus was on injection of CO2-SO2 mixtures in geological formations for CO2 storage; she designed and assembled the experimental rig to conduct that work and also acquired computational skills to theoretically model that work. These computational skills were developed by collaborations and stays at international and recognized research centres: the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the University of Oregon. The quality of her PhD work was reflected by the awards she received, including the 1st year best PhD report, a Business- Engineering and Science and Travel Scholarship (BESTS) to do an internship at USGS and a Graduate School travel bursary. Moreover, she was selected to attend the US Research experience in carbon sequestration summer school in 2008, being one of the only three non-US students sponsored to attend this workshop organized by the US Department of Energy. She also received the E.ON Prize for outstanding students with innovative ideas and research into sustainable energy as well as the Peer Review Prize in the same E.ON Energy Programme and Competition.

研究领域

Her research expertise and interests include the following energy and engineering fields: clean coal technologies; deployment of adsorption technologies with solid sorbents for CO2 capture; new materials for CO2 capture; simulation of gas-phase adsorption processes; CO2 storage by different trapping mechanisms; experimental and modelling studies on the mineralogical changes and fluid chemistry derived from the injection of CO2 and co-injection of gas mixtures into saline aquifers; CO2 transportation for CCS and CO2 utilization.
