Texas A&M Gas & Fuels Research Center Presentation to Industrial Advisory Board, Chemical Engineering Program, Texas A&M University at Qatar May 21, 2013

Center’s Major Objectives To advance gas and fuels processing research activities in gas utilization, clean energy and in production of fuels and value-added chemicals. To establish multidisciplinary projects and collaboration models with both industry and academic institutions in Qatar and worldwide. To provide consulting services and training courses in areas of specialty. To integrate Texas A&M University resources and to support Qatar’s 2030 vision in advancing its human and research facilities in clean energy field.

Seven Texas A&M University professors from both Qatar campus and College Station campus will be participating in this center. Multidisciplinary specialties in critical areas in gas and fuels processing technologies. World class research facilities and labs at Texas A&M Qatar and in College Station. Highly skilled research staff, graduate and undergraduate students. Center’s Structure

Center’s Principal Investigators Prof. Dragomir Bukur Catalysis, Reaction Engineering, Fischer -Tropsch and Gas-to-Liquid technology. Prof. Perla Balbuena Computational design of materials, catalysts and processes. Prof. Mahmoud El-Halwagi Process integration, synthesis, simulation, and optimization, sustainable process design, and molecular/product design. Prof. Marcelo Castier Thermodynamic models of complex mixtures, confined fluids, electrolyte solutions; applications of thermodynamics to chemical process safety.
