Profile

I lead the Process and Energy Systems Engineering Research Group at University of 91ֱ��, UK with expertise in modelling, optimisation and control of power plants, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), energy storage and bio-energy.

I have been an investigator in 27 research projects worth over £20 million from UK Research Councils, European Commission and Industry. I have published over 200 papers and am one of the top 2% most-cited scientists in the world.

One of my publications (Lazic et al. 2014) on CO2 transport pipeline network design for the Humber Region (largest CO2 emitter in the UK) was awarded the Ludwig Mond Prize 2014 by IMechE. The content of this paper was also widely used by a UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) report in 2020 titled “Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) deployment at dispersed sites”.

The paper on large-scale energy storage (Aneke and Wang, 2016) was given Award for the Most Cited Review Paper in Applied Energy by Elsevier. A research project on applying process intensified techniques for carbon capture, which I led, was runner-up in IChemE Global Award 2019 (Energy Category).

I was Siemens PSE Model-based Innovation (MBI) Prize Winner 2022 for “an excellent work illustrating the use of gPROMS in the modelling, simulation and analysis of a complex process for efficient carbon capture”. I was joint winner of Nigeria Prize for Science 2019 and 2024 (the most important prize in the African Continent) for my long term research contribution to CCUS to combat climate change.

In Sept. 2024, I was elected Fellow of European Academy of Sciences (EurASc). In Jun. 2024, I was elected Fellow of European Academy of Sciences and Arts (EASA).

Qualifications

PhD from Centre for Process Systems Engineering (CPSE) at University College London (UCL) and Imperial College London from Jan. 1999 to Dec. 2001. Viva held in Nov. 2002.
MSc from East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), China from Sept. 1992 to Jul. 1995.
Diploma from Nanjing Chemical Engineering and Power College (now part of Nanjing Normal University), China from Sept. 1985 to Jul. 1988.

Research interests

Using process systems engineering technologies (e.g. molecular simulation, process modelling\simulation, optimisation and control) to deal with optimal design, optimal operation, optimal control and performance evaluation of energy systems (e.g. power plants, carbon capture plants, CO2 transport pipelines, CO2 utilisation processes, large scale compressed air energy storage processes, biomass pyrolysis and gasification).

My main research areas is in Process/Energy Systems Engineering for Energy and Environment. The sub areas are:

Process Modelling, Simulation, Control and Optimisation
Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS)
Grid-scale Energy Storage
Bio-fuel Production
Power Plants
Refinery Planning and Scheduling
Process Control (e.g. Condition Monitoring and System Identification)
