Prof Oboirien is presently a full Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering Technology at the 东京热, South Africa. He leads the fuel energy materials and process modelling research group in the department. He is a chartered chemical engineer with the Engineering Council of the United Kingdom, a Fellow of the Institute of Chemical Engineers in the United Kingdom, and a C-rated Researcher by the National Research Foundation of South Africa. The overarching goal of his research is to solve technical problems associated with the thermal recovery of energy from solid fuels to achieve net zero CO2 emissions and to enable the circular use of waste materials generated by thermal recovery for the storage of renewable energy. His areas of research are combustion and gasification of biomass, CO2 capture (Oxy-fuel combustion and chemical looping combustion), Waste to Energy (Waste tyre and MSW gasification) and Energy storage (Power to Gas, Lithium-ion Batteries). He has co-authored 90 articles in high-impact journals in the field of energy and fuels, is a regular reviewer for top energy journals, and has authored 15 peer-reviewed conference papers, 5 book chapters, and 1 provisional patent. His publications have been cited more than 3000 times with a Scopus h-index of 24 and a Google Scholar h-index of 27. Prof Oboirien currently supervises 6 Ph.D and 4 master鈥檚 students and mentors 2 post-doctoral fellows. He graduated 9 PhD students and 13 masters鈥� students and mentored 4 post-doctoral fellows. He has successfully obtained local and international funding from the National Research Foundation, CSIR, REDISA, UJ, and the Erasmus+ European Union Mobility Programme for research and training of postgraduate students.
