Biography
Dr. Pedro Arcelus-Arrillaga is anAssistant Professor at the Chemical Engineering Department in the University ofBradford. He received his PhD and MSc degrees in Chemical Engineering fromImperial College London. His bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering wasobtained with honours from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Hisresearch interests are within the areas of energy and fuel processing,including the application of thermochemical and hydrothermal processes totransform non-conventional feedstocks, such as heavy oil, biomass and organic wasteinto fuel and value-added products. Dr. Arcelus was awarded the 2016 TownendPrize by the Imperial College London for the best research work or criticalanalysis in any of the areas of combustion, fuel production and / or its use.He has a strong track record of research outputs in the areas of chemicalengineering, fuel technology, energy engineering and catalysis. Dr. Arcelus hasextensive experience in teaching theory and laboratory modules in fundamentalareas of the Chemical Engineering such as Reaction Engineering andThermodynamics. He has achieved the status of Fellow (FHEA) by AdvancedHE and he is a Senior member of the AIChE. He has a strong collaborationnetwork with researchers from various renowned institutions in the UnitedKingdom, Spain, Mexico, and Colombia.Research
