This course will provide comprehensive learning resources, including course materials for future reference. Each topic will commence with a clearly defined intended learning outcome (LO). The learning experience will be enriched through quizzes and group engagements. Participants will be directed to additional resources such as books, articles, case studies, and modelling tools. The course structure incorporates interactive elements, such as case studies, and practical exercises.

Your expert instructor is an expert in energy, with more than 40 years of experience in petroleum technology (particularly in the refining processes and catalysts), renewable fuels and chemicals, hydrogen production, and hydrogen network management. His experience includes operations, troubleshooting, process development, development planning, and real-time online optimisation. He presents well-received courses and lectures on hydrogen network optimisation, climate change science, process safety, petroleum refining, hydrotreating, and advanced hydrocracking to major energy companies in Turkey, Poland, Netherlands, Denmark, and the United States.

During his tenure in the energy industry, he was employed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Aspen Technology Inc., Topsoe, and three major oil companies – Unocal, Chevron, and Shell. At ORLN, he invented thermochemical cycles for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen and for splitting CO₂ into CO and oxygen. At AspenTech, he was Best Practice Leader for hydrocracking optimisation and participated in numerous hydrogen network optimisation studies. At KBR, he was Chief Technology Advisor for VCC technology meanwhile at Topsoe, he was Lead Engineer, Global Hydrocracking.

After a year at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, he earned his PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, San Diego. To continue his education, he is currently working on a master certificate in Environmental Policy and International Development from Harvard University.

Your expert instructor`s scholarly contributions include 12 patents and more than 90 publications, including 7 books and numerous book chapters. As of April 2024, chapters from Practical Advances in Petroleum Processing had 120,000 downloads. Chapters from the Springer Handbook of Petroleum Technology had more than 234,000 downloads.

Your expert instructor’s is an active member of the American Chemical Society (ACS), serving as Public Policy Chair for the Energy and Fuels Division. As a member of the ACS Committee on the Environment and Sustainability, he participates in drafting position papers for legislators. In 2021, he became an ACS Fellow.

To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer individualized “One to One” coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers. They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help you achieve your goals faster.
