Research interests
My main research interests are focused on transformation of Biomasses into sources of Energy, in particular the pyrolysis method, in order to generate greater yields of Syngas. Particular attention is being given to develop a model that can predict the biochemical composition of a source of Biomass from its Elementary composition, to a better understanding of the steps of breaking-down the compounds into the products of the Pyrolysis and the interaction of the ash content and composition on the development of the process.
