Source repository for the public scientific and engineering website:
The website presents selected public and non-confidential scientific, engineering and professional evidence across:
- applied physical chemistry, thermodynamics and chemical kinetics;
- combustion, reactive systems, soot and nanoparticle inception;
- reactor modelling, CFD and multiscale analysis;
- thermochemical conversion, biomass, biochar, syngas and waste-to-X;
- fuels, desulfurization and process intensification;
- advanced oxidation processes and wastewater treatment;
- technology development, validation, pilot planning and industrial scale-up.
The website is the public interface to a wider scientific and engineering knowledge system.
Its purpose is to connect, without unnecessary duplication:
- canonical scientific and engineering knowledge objects;
- peer-reviewed publications and open technical outputs;
- reproducible GitHub repositories and software archives;
- selected evidence-backed engineering case studies;
- research methods and development frameworks;
- professional evidence and career context;
- consulting applications and collaboration routes.
The website follows a contribution-first communication principle:
Contribution → Methodology → Evidence → Application → Biography
Selected technical work is organized around Scientific & Engineering Knowledge Objects (SEKOs).
A SEKO is a stable knowledge object that may have several controlled representations, such as:
- publication;
- GitHub repository;
- Zenodo/software archive;
- website case study;
- modelling or validation tool;
- educational resource;
- consulting application.
This prevents the same technical contribution from being independently redefined in multiple places.
Current flagship public knowledge objects include:
- SEKO-NDMS-001 — NDMS Persistence–Stabilization Closure
- SEKO-DES-001 — Desulfurization Reaction–Transport Regimes
- SEKO-AOP-001 — AOP Kinetic Process Framework
- SEKO-BIO-001 — Biomass Process Modeling Framework
A cross-domain technology-development, validation and scale-up methodology is maintained in the Research & Tools layer and supported by dedicated scale-up and thermochemical-development outputs.

Each page has a distinct role:
- Home: overall positioning and navigation.
- Selected Work: demonstrated technical contributions and engineering cases.
- Research & Tools: canonical methods, repositories, reproducible tools and technology-development methodology.
- Publications: evidence layer linking papers and open outputs to broader knowledge objects.
- Professional Profile: qualifications, career context and verified professional evidence.
- Consulting: application of documented capability and methodology to defined client problems.
Public content is selected rather than bulk-published.
Historical programs, mechanisms, figures, datasets and project materials are reviewed for:
- authorship and ownership;
- confidentiality;
- licensing and redistribution rights;
- technical integrity;
- evidence maturity;
- applicability boundaries;
- suitability for public communication.
The website does not intentionally disclose confidential client or employer information, restricted operating data, proprietary project details or third-party material without an appropriate right to use it.
Research hypotheses, screening frameworks, reconstructed models, software tests, representative validation and industrial evidence are not treated as equivalent. Claims are bounded by the evidence actually available.
Where appropriate, technical frameworks are linked to:
- GitHub repositories for transparent implementation;
- Zenodo releases for persistent archival records and DOI assignment;
- publication pages for scientific context;
- Selected Work entries for engineering interpretation.
Software verification is distinguished from experimental or industrial validation.
The website and related repositories are maintained using several long-term principles:
- one canonical source wherever practical;
- reuse before duplication;
- evidence-proportional claims;
- explicit applicability boundaries;
- contribution before biography;
- traceability between publications, repositories, methods and cases;
- preservation of scientifically useful legacy work through transparent reconstruction rather than unsupported modernization.
