About me
I am a Senior R&D Engineer at Grimaldi Development and affiliated faculty at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. My work focuses on carbon capture, gas–liquid contactors, and centrifugal separation technologies for industrial gas–solid–liquid processing and process intensification.
At Grimaldi Development, we develop compact carbon capture systems and advanced centrifugal separation solutions aimed at making industrial decarbonisation more practical, scalable, and energy efficient.
In collaboration with KTH, I work on a compact, modular spray-based CO₂ capture technology designed for industrial sites where conventional carbon capture systems are often too large, costly, or difficult to retrofit. The aim is to make CO₂ capture easier to integrate, more flexible to scale, and more relevant for real industrial conditions.
My work bridges applied chemical engineering, pilot-scale development, CFD modelling, and industrial implementation, supporting the transition toward net-zero and negative emissions.
