Qualifications
- MSc
- PhD (University of Manchester)
Summary
Dr Font Palma is Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering and joined the department of Engineering in January 2021, where she works on process simulation, process integration of energy systems, low-carbon energy and hydrogen, and cryogenic carbon capture. She previously worked at the University of Chester.
She has a PhD in biomass gasification from the University of Manchester and post-doctoral experience in carbon capture at the University of Leeds. She has been part of various consortia involving research on oxy-combustion, cryogenic carbon capture, gas turbines and exhaust gas recirculation, and methanol synthesis. She led the CO2-FROST project funded by the UKCCSRC Flexible funding 2020.
Carolina was awarded the prestigious RAEng/The Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship 2020/2021. She has numerous publications on carbon capture and is a member of the EPSRC Associate Peer Review College.
