supervised researchers.Biography
Dr. YakubuMandafiya John is a Lecturer in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at The University of Bradford. He is the ProgrammeLeader for BEng/MEng Chemical Engineering. He is an Associate Member of theIChemE and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, United Kingdom. He obtainedhis BEng and MEng degrees in Chemical Engineering from the Federal University ofTechnology, Yola (Now Modibbo Adama University, Yola) and obtained his PhD from The University of Bradford in 2019. He is also a Registered Engineer with theCouncil for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and a Member ofNigerian Society of Engineers. He is a Reviewer with several internationaljournals.Dr. John wasa lecturer in Chemical Engineering (Education) at the Queen’s UniversityBelfast, United Kingdom shortly after his PhD in 2018, before he joined The University of Bradford in 2019. He was Lecturer at the School of Engineering,Chemical Engineering Department at the Modibbo Adama University Yola Nigeria from2005-2018. He was also an Adjunct Instructor in the Department of PetroleumChemistry at American University of Nigeria, from 2012-2013.
Hisresearch interest is in dynamic modelling, simulation, optimisation and controlof petroleum upstream and downstream processes, as well as batch and continuouschemical processes with specific interests in refinery processes such as thefluid catalytic cracking (FCC) and catalytic reforming. He is also involved incarbon capture research, CO2 minimisation, crude to chemicalsconversion and biomass to fuel production.
