Dr Emmanuel Epelle is currently a Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, where he is primarily developing innovative hybrid oxidation technologies for decontaminating reusable medical devices and wastewater. His research features the application of mathematical modelling and laboratory experimentation to analyse the susceptibility of recalcitrant contaminants and microbes to new treatment methods. On a renewable energy front, Dr Epelle also explores the application of diverse modelling methods for assessing the viability of waste biomass-to-biofuel conversion processes and the subsequent utilisation routes.
Before his Chancellor’s Fellowship, he undertook a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Advanced Clothing Solutions and the University of the West of Scotland, where he developed the UK’s first/patented automated process for decontaminating apparel and PPE on an industrial scale. Dr Epelle received his engineering training from the University of Edinburgh (PhD), Imperial College London (MSc), and the Federal University of Technology, Minna (BEng) and has 5 years of teaching experience in Chemical Engineering courses (mainly computational methods and separation processes). His research is driving the healthcare and energy sectors towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (3, 6 & 13), igniting positive change on a global scale.
